Abstract: The stationary states of boundary driven zero-range processes in random media with quenched disorder are examined, and the motion of a tagged particle is analyzed. For symmetric transition rates, also known as the random barrier model, the stationary state is found to be trivial in absence of boundary drive. Out of equilibrium, two further cases are distinguished according to the tail of the disorder distribution. For strong disorder, the fugacity profiles are found to be governed by the paths of normalized alpha-stable subordinators. The expectations of integrated functions of the tagged particle position are calculated for three types of routes.


The zero-range process is a model for a gas of mutually interacting particles on a finite or infinite lattice (or graph). After some preliminaries to introduce the corresponding model, one derives the stationary distribution in the case of symmetric random media. One examines successively strong disorder and the properties of the fugacity distribution. Then one studies the motion of a tagged particle in a boundary driven gas which has reached its steady state firstly in fixed environment, and secondly in random environment. The expectations oof integrated functions of the tagged particle are computed in various types of travels.
