Abstract

The algebraic structure underlying the totally asymmetric exclusion process is studied by using the Bethe Ansatz technique. From the properties of the algebra generated by the local jump operators, we explicitly construct the hierarchy of operators (called generalized hamiltonians) that commute with the Markov operator. The transfer matrix, which is the generating function of these operators, is shown to represent a discrete Markov process with long-range jumps. We give a general combinatorial formula for the connected hamiltonians obtained by taking the logarithm of the transfer matrix. This formula is proved using a symbolic calculation program for the first ten connected operators.

Connected operators for the totally asymmetric exclusion process

O. Golinelli, Kirone Mallick

We fully elucidate the structure of the hierarchy of the connected operators that commute with the Markov matrix of the Totally Asymmetric Exclusion Process (TASEP). We prove for the connected operators a combinatorial formula that was conjectured in a previous work. Our derivation is purely algebraic and relies on the algebra generated by the local jump operators involved in the TASEP. Keywords: Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics, ASEP, Exact Results, Algebraic Bethe Ansatz.

Derivation of a matrix product representation for the asymmetric exclusion process from the algebraic Bethe ansatz

O. Golinelli, Kirone Mallick

We derive, using the algebraic Bethe ansatz, a generalized matrix product ansatz for the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) on a one-dimensional periodic lattice. In this matrix product ansatz, the components of the eigenvectors of the ASEP Markov matrix can be expressed as traces of products of non-commuting operators. We derive the relations between the operators involved and show that they generate a quadratic algebra. Our construction provides explicit finite-dimensional representations for the generators of this algebra.

Generalized matrix Ansatz in the multispecies exclusion process—the partially asymmetric case

Chikashi Arita, Arvind Ayyer, Kirone Mallick +1 more

We investigate one of the simplest multispecies generalizations of the asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring. This process has a rich combinatorial spectral structure and a matrix product form for the stationary state. In the totally asymmetric case, operators that conjugate the dynamics of systems with different numbers of species were obtained by the authors and recently reported by Arita et al (2011 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 44 335004). The existence of such nontrivial operators was reformulated as a representation problem for a specific quadratic algebra (generalized matrix Ansatz). In this work, we construct the family of representations explicitly for the partially asymmetric case. This solution cannot be obtained by a simple deformation of the totally asymmetric case.

Transfer matrices for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process

Marko Woelki, Kirone Mallick

We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a finite lattice with open boundaries. We show, using the recursive structure of the Markov matrix that encodes the dynamics, that there exist two transfer matrices T L − 1, L and that intertwine the Markov matrices of consecutive system sizes: . This semi-conjugation property of the dynamics provides an algebraic counterpart for the matrix-product representation of the steady state of the process.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with boundaries

Nicolas Crampé

We study the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in contact with two reservoirs including also a fugacity at one boundary. The eigenvectors and the eigenvalues of the corresponding Markov matrix are computed using the modified algebraic Bethe ansatz, a method introduced recently to study the spin chain with non-diagonal boundaries. We provide in this case a proof of this method.
