Shock fluctuations in asymmetric exclusion: The KPZ regime

A talk in the Keine Reihe series by
Peter Nejjar from IST Austria

Abstract: The asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) is an interacting particle system which belongs to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class of random growth models. Models in this class are believed to share a common large time behavior characterized by probability distributions from random matrix theory. Here we consider ASEP with a discontinuity (shock) in the macroscopic density, and show that at the shock a product of two Tracy-Widom distributions from the Gaussian unitary ensemble arises.
