Abstract

We study analytically a model where particles with a hard-core repulsion diffuse on a finite one-dimensional lattice with space-dependent, asymmetric hopping rates. The system dynamics are given by the \mbox{U[SU(2)]}-symmetric Hamiltonian of a generalized anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Exploiting this symmetry we derive exact expressions for various correlation functions. We discuss the density profile and the two-point function and compute the correlation length as well as the correlation time . The dynamics of the density and the correlations are shown to be governed by the energy gaps of a one-particle system. For large systems and depend only on the asymmetry. For small asymmetry one finds indicating a dynamical exponent as for symmetric diffusion.
