A short proof of a symmetry identity for the -deformed Binomial distribution

arXiv:1404.4265 · doi:10.1214/ECP.v19-3674

Abstract

We give a short and elementary proof of a -deformed Binomial distribution identity arising in the study of the -Boson process and the -TASEP. This identity found by Corwin in [4] was a key technical step to prove an intertwining relation between the Markov transition matrices of these two classes of discrete-time Markov chains. This was used in turn to derive exact formulas for a large class of observables of both these processes.
