GUE GUE limit law at hard shocks in ASEP
arXiv:1906.07711
Abstract
We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on with initial data such that in the large time particle density a discontinuity (shock) at the origin is created. At the shock, the value of jumps from zero to one, but for any . We are interested in the rescaled position of a tagged particle which enters the shock with positive probability. We show that, inside the shock region, the particle position has the KPZ-typical fluctuations, a limit law and a degenerated correlation length. Outside the shock region, the particle fluctuates as if there was no shock. Our arguments are mostly probabilistic, in particular, the mixing times of countable state space ASEPs are instrumental to study the fluctuations at shocks.
arXiv commentAccepted for publication in the Annals of Applied Probability. V4: Subsection 1.2 has been added, where a full proof of a needed correlation inequality for ASEP is given. The proofs of Proposition 6.1 and Theorem 1 have been simplified, and Figure 2 has been added. Several additional smaller changes. This article supersedes arXiv:1812.11939
