Fluctuations of TASEP and LPP with general initial data

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove Airy process variational formulas for the one-point probability distribution of (discrete time parallel update) TASEP with general initial data, as well as last passage percolation from a general lattice path to a point. We also consider variants of last passage percolation with inhomogeneous parameter geometric weights and provide variational formulas of a similar nature. This proves one aspect of the conjectural description of the renormalization fixed point of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.


The paper deals with totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes (also known as TASEP) and describes how fluctuations around the law of large numbers evolve. The main mathematical tools referred to in this work are results from the uniform slow decorrelation property which allows generalizations of some previous results in the literature on the one hand, and the geometric random weight last passage percolation (LPP) model on the other hand. The results are stated in terms of a deterministic down-right lattice path/initial condition/boundary data.
