Abstract: We introduce the mathematical theory of the particle systems that interact via permutations, where the transition rates are assigned not to the jumps from a site to a site, but to the permutations themselves. This permutation processes can be viewed as a generalization of the symmetric exclusion processes, where particles interact via transpositions. The duality and coupling techniques for the processes are described, the needed conditions for them to apply are established. The stationary distributions of the permutation processes are explored for translation invariant cases.

Review text

As a generalization of the exclusion process, the permutation process is introduced and its basic properties are studied. Let \(S\) be a countable set and \(\Sigma\) be a set of permutations of finitely many points of \(S\). For any cylinder function \(f(\eta)\) of \( \eta \in \{0,1\}^S\), \(\Omega\) is defined by \[ (\Omega f)(\eta) = \sum_{\sigma\in\Sigma}q(\sigma)[f(\sigma(\eta)) - f(\eta)]. \] Under a suitable condition on \(q: \Sigma \to [0,\infty)\), the process \(\eta_t\) valued in \(\{0,1\}^S\) with generator \(\Omega\) is a well-defined Feller process, which is called the permutation process. For \(S=\mathbb{R}\), the following properties are proved under irreducibility, translational invariance as well as other technical conditions on \(q\): 1. The set of extreme points of the class of stationary distributions of the symmetric permutation process is given by \(\{\nu_{\rho} :0\leq \rho \leq 1\}\). 2. The set of extreme points of the class of shift invariant stationary distributions of the permutation process is given by \(\{\nu_{\rho} :0\leq \rho \leq 1\}\). \noindent Here, \( \nu_{\rho} \) is the homogeneous product measure on \(\{0,1\}^S\) with marginal \(\rho\). The proofs proceed along the line of those for the exclusion process by modifying and extending them.
