Decoupling and decay of two-point functions in a two-species (T)ASEP

We consider the two-species totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on $\mathbb{Z}$ with a translation-invariant stationary measure as the initial condition. We establish the asymptotic decoupling of the marginal height profiles along characteristic lines and prove the decay of the two-point functions in the large-time limit, thus confirming predictions of the nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics theory. Our approach builds on the queueing construction of the stationary measure introduced in [Angel'06, Ferrari-Martin'07] and extends the theory of backwards paths for height functions developed in [Bufetov-Ferrari'22, Ferrari-Nejjar'24]. The arguments for asymptotic decoupling also apply to further homogeneous initial data, and the decay of the two-point functions is proven for the stationary two-species asymmetric simple exclusion process, beyond the totally asymmetric case.

TASEP with a general initial condition and a deterministically moving wall

We study the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) on $\mathbb{Z}$ with a general initial condition and a deterministically moving wall in front of the particles. Using colour-position symmetry, we express the one-point distributions in terms of particle positions in a TASEP with step initial condition along a space-like path. Based on this formula, we analyse the large-time asymptotics of the model under various scenarios. For initial conditions other than the step initial condition, we identify a distinct asymptotic behaviour at the boundary of the region influenced by the wall, differing from the observations made in [Borodin-Bufetov-Ferrari'24] and [Ferrari-Gernholt'24]. Furthermore, we demonstrate that product limit distributions are associated with shocks in the macroscopic empirical density. As a special case of our starting formula, we derive a variational expression for the one-point distributions of TASEP with arbitrary initial data. Focusing on non-random initial conditions, such as periodic ones with an arbitrary density, we leverage our analytical tools to characterise the limit distribution within the framework of particle positions.

Tagged particle fluctuations for TASEP with dynamics restricted by a moving wall

We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process on $\Z$ with step initial condition and with the presence of a rightward-moving wall that prevents the particles from jumping. This model was first studied in [Borodin-Bufetov-Ferrari'21]. We extend their work by determining the limiting distribution of a tagged particle in the case where the wall has influence on its fluctuations in neighbourhoods of multiple macroscopic times.
