A new class of integrable diffusion-reaction processes

Abstract

We consider a process in which there are two types of particles, A and B, on an infinite one-dimensional lattice. The particles hop to their adjacent sites, like the totally asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP), and have also the following interactions: A+B -> B+B and B+A -> B+B, all occur with equal rate. We study this process by imposing four boundary conditions on ASEP master equation. It is shown that this model is integrable, in the sense that its N-particle S-matrix is factorized into a product of two-particle S-matrices and, more importantly, the two-particle S-matrix satisfy quantum Yang-Baxter equation. Using coordinate Bethe-ansatz, the N-particle wavefunctions and the two-particle conditional probabilities are found exactly. Further, by imposing four reasonable physical conditions on two-species diffusion-reaction processes (where the most important ones are the equality of the reaction rates and the conservation of the number of particles in each reaction), we show that among the 4096 types of the interactions which have these properties and can be modeled by a master equation and an appropriate set of boundary conditions, there are only 28 independent interactions which are integrable. We find all these interactions and also their corresponding wave functions. Some of these may be new solutions of quantum Yang-Baxter equation.
