Abstract: We reformulate the Corteel-Williams equations for the stationary state of the two parameter Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP) as a linear map mathcalL(,cdot,), acting on a tensor algebra built from a rank two free module with basis e1,e2. From this formulation we construct a pair of sequences, Pn(e1) and Qm(e2), of bi-orthogonal polynomials (BiOPS), that is, they satisfy mathcalL(Pn(e1)otimesQm(e2))=Lambdandeltan,m. The existence of the sequences arises from the determinant of a Pascal triangle like matrix of polynomials. The polynomials satisfy first order (uncoupled) recurrence relations. We show that the two first moments mathcalL(Pn,e1,Qm) and mathcalL(Pn,e2,Qm) give rise to a matrix representation of the ASEP diffusion algebra and hence provide an understanding of the origin of the matrix product Ansatz. The second moment mathcalL(Pn,e1e2,Qm) defines a tridiagonal matrix which makes the connection with Chebyshev-like orthogonal polynomials.
