Abstract: We present two new connections between the inhomogeneous stochastic higher spin six vertex model in a quadrant and integrable stochastic systems from the Macdonald processes hierarchy. First, we show how Macdonald q-difference operators with t=0 (an algebraic tool crucial for studying the corresponding Macdonald processes) can be utilized to get q-moments of the height function mathfrakh in the higher spin six vertex model first computed in arXiv:1601.05770 using Bethe ansatz. This result in particular implies that for the vertex model with the step Bernoulli boundary condition, the value of mathfrakh at an arbitrary point (N+1,T)inmathbbZge2imesmathbbZge1 has the same distribution as the last component lambdaN of a random partition under a specific t=0 Macdonald measure. On the other hand, it is known that mathbfxN:=lambdaN−N can be identified with the location of the Nth particle in a certain discrete time q-TASEP started from the step initial configuration. The second construction we present is a coupling of this q-TASEP and the higher spin six vertex model (with the step Bernoulli boundary condition) along time-like paths providing an independent probabilistic explanation of the equality of mathfrakh(N+1,T) and mathbfxN+N in distribution. Combined with the identification of averages of observables between the stochastic higher spin six vertex model and Schur measures (which are t=q Macdonald measures) obtained recently in arXiv:1608.01553, this produces GUE Tracy--Widom asymptotics for a discrete time q-TASEP with the step initial configuration and special jump parameters.


Some prerequisites are recalled on the properties of the \(q\)-Whittaker measures and related \(q\)-difference operators. The authors recall as well some facts about the inhomogeneous stochastic higher spin vertex model and contour integral formulas. Then they studies the action of the \(q\)-Whittaker difference operator. The \(q\)-TASEP/vertex model coupling is investigated.
