Invariant measures of mass migration processes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We introduce the Mass Migration Process (MMP), a conservative particle system on mathbbNmathbbZd. It consists in jumps of k particles (kge1) between sites, with a jump rate depending only on the state of the system at the departure and arrival sites of the jump. It generalizes misanthropes processes, hence in particular zero range and target processes. After the construction of MMP, our main focus is on its invariant measures. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of translation-invariant and invariant product probability measures. In the particular cases of asymmetric mass migration zero range and mass migration target dynamics, these conditions yield explicit solutions. If these processes are moreover attractive, we obtain a full characterization of all translation-invariant, invariant probability measures. We also consider attractiveness properties (through couplings) and condensation phenomena for MMP. We illustrate our results on many examples; in particular, we prove the coexistence of both condensation and attractiveness in one of them.
