Metastability for a non-reversible dynamics: the evolution of the condensate in totally asymmetric zero range processes

C. Landim

Let $\bb T_L = \bb Z/L \bb Z$ be the one-dimensional torus with $L$ points. For $\alpha >0$, let $g: \bb N\to \bb R_+$ be given by $g(0)=0$, $g(1)=1$, $g(k)=[k/(k-1){]}^{\alpha }$, $k\ge 2$. Con…
