Limit shape of single-source stochastic sandpiles with $p$-topplings on $\mathbb{Z}$

We investigate the limit shape of the single-source model for stochastic sandpiles on the integer line subject to $p$--topplings. In this model, an initial configuration of $n\in\mathbb{N}$ particles is placed at the origin and stabilized according to a random toppling rule depending on $p\in (0,1)$: an unstable vertex sends exactly one particle to its left neighbor with probability $p$, and independently sends exactly one particle to its right neighbor with probability $p$. We prove that as $n \to \infty$, the macroscopic limit shape of the final stable configuration is a symmetric interval around the origin. Furthermore, by analyzing the center of mass martingale, we establish a central limit theorem for the boundary fluctuations, showing that after proper rescaling, they converge to a Gaussian distribution.

Stochastic Sandpiles with Uniform Toppling Rule on the Line

We consider the stochastic sandpile model with uniform toppling rule on the integer line. During a uniform toppling, with probability $1/3$ one particle is sent to the right of the toppled vertex, with probability $1/3$ one particle is sent to the left, and with probability $1/3$ two particles are sent out, one to the right and one to the left. We calculate exactly the stationary distribution of the stochastic sandpile Markov chain with this toppling rule on finite, connected subsets of the integers, and show that the infinite volume limit exists and is equal to the Dirac measure of the full configuration. For this end, we analyze where the excess mass leaves the system, when stabilizing the full configuration plus one additional particle on finite, connected subsets of the integers.
