Abstract

We present an exact solution for an asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with three classes of particles and vacancies. Using a matrix-product Ansatz, we find exact expressions for the weights of the configurations in the stationary state. The solution involves tensor products of quadratic algebras.

The matrix product solution of the multispecies partially asymmetric exclusion process

Sylvain Prolhac, M. R. Evans, Kirone Mallick

We find the exact solution for the stationary state measure of the partially asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with multiple species of particles. The solution is in the form of a matrix product representation where the matrices for a system of N species are defined recursively in terms of the matrices for a system of N − 1 species. A complete proof is given, based on the quadratic relations verified by these matrices. This matrix product construction is interpreted in terms of the action of a transfer matrix.

The exact solution of the asymmetric exclusion problem with particles of asrbitrary size: matrix product ansatz

Francisco C. Alcaraz, Matheus J. Lazo

The exact solution of the asymmetric exclusion problem and several of its generalizations is obtained by a matrix product ansatz. Due to the similarity of the master equation and the Schrodinger equation at imaginary times the solution of these problems reduces to the diagonalization of a one dimensional quantum Hamiltonian. Initially, we present the solution of the problem when an arbitrary mixture of molecules, each of then having an arbitrary size (s = 0; 1; 2; ...) in units of lattice spacing, diffuses asymmetrically on the lattice. The solution of the more general problem where we have the diffusion of particles belonging to N distinct classes of particles (c = 1; ... ; N), with hierarchical order and arbitrary sizes, is also presented. Our matrix product ansatz asserts that the amplitudes of an arbitrary eigenfunction of the associated quantum Hamiltonian can be expressed by a product of matrices. The algebraic properties of the matrices defining the ansatz depend on the particular associated Hamiltonian. The absence of contradictions in the algebraic relations defining the algebra ensures the exact integrability of the model. In the case of particles distributed in N > 2 classes, the associativity of this algebra implies the Yang-Baxter relations of the exact integrable model.

Exact stationary state for an asymmetric exclusion process with fully parallel dynamics

Jan de Gier, Bernard Nienhuis

The exact stationary state of an asymmetric exclusion process with fully parallel dynamics is obtained using the matrix product ansatz. We give a simple derivation for the deterministic case by a physical interpretation of the dimension of the matrices. We prove the stationarity via a cancellation mechanism, and by making use of an explicit representation of the matrix algebra we easily find closed expressions for the correlation functions in the general probabilistic case. Asymptotic expressions, obtained by making use of earlier results, allow us to derive the exact phase diagram.

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.

Matrix-product ansatz for the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with a generalized update on a ring

Boyka Aneva, J.G. Brankov

We apply the matrix-product ansatz to study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on a ring with a generalized discrete-time dynamics depending on two hopping probabilities, $p$ and $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}$. The model contains as special cases the TASEP with parallel update, when $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}=0$, and with sequential backward-ordered update, when $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}=p$. We construct a quadratic algebra and its two-dimensional matrix-product representation to obtain exact finite-size expressions for the partition function, the current of particles, and the two-point correlation function. Our main new result is the derivation of the finite-size pair correlation function. Its behavior is analyzed in different regimes of effective attraction and repulsion between the particles, depending on whether $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}>p$ or $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}<p$. In particular, we explicitly obtain an analytic expression for the pair correlation function in the limit of irreversible aggregation $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{p}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}1$, when the stationary configurations contain just one cluster.

Phase transitions in the two-species totally asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries

Chikashi Arita

The two-species totally asymmetric exclusion process on a chain with the following boundary conditions is studied: the first-class particles are injected at the left boundary and extracted at the right boundary, while the second-class particles are confined to the chain. We construct the stationary-state solution and calculate physical quantities exactly by means of the matrix product ansatz. In the thermodynamic limit, these quantities exhibit boundary-induced phase transitions.
