A Multi-species ASEP(q,j) and q-TAZRP with Stochastic Duality

This paper introduces a multi-species version of a process called ASEP(q,j). In this process, up to 2j particles are allowed to occupy a lattice site, the particles drift to the right with asymmetry 0<q^{2j}<1, and there are n-1 species of particles in which heavier particles can force lighter particles to switch places. Assuming closed boundary conditions, we explicitly write the reversible measures and a self-duality function, generalizing previously known results for two-species ASEP and single-species ASEP(q,j). Additionally, it is shown that this multi-species ASEP(q,j) is dual to its space-reversed version, in which particles drift to the left. As j goes to infinity, this multi-species ASEP(q,j) converges to a multi-species q-TAZRP and the self-duality function has a non-trivial limit, showing that this multi-species q-TAZRP satisfies a space-reversed self-duality. The construction of the process and the proofs are accomplished utilizing spin j representations of U_q(gl_n), extending the approach used for single-species ASEP(q,j).

An interacting particle system with geometric jump rates near a partially reflecting boundary

This paper constructs a new interacting particle system on a two--dimensional lattice with geometric jumps near a boundary which partially reflects the particles. The projection to each horizontal level is Markov, and on every level the dynamics match stochastic matrices constructed from pure alpha characters of $Sp(\infty)$, while on every other level they match an interacting particle system from Pieri formulas for $Sp(2r)$. Using a previously discovered correlation kernel, asymptotics are shown to be the Discrete Jacobi and Symmetric Pearcey processes.

Strong Szego asymptotics and zeros of the zeta function

Assuming the Riemann hypothesis, we prove the weak convergence of linear statistics of the zeros of L-functions towards a Gaussian field, with covariance structure corresponding to the $\HH^{1/2}$-norm of the test functions. For this purpose, we obtain an approximate form of the explicit formula, relying on Selberg's smoothed expression for $ζ'/ζ$ and the Helffer-Sjöstrand functional calculus. Our main result is an analogue of the strong Szeg{\H o} theorem, known for Toeplitz operators and random matrix theory.

Stochastic duality of ASEP with two particle types via symmetry of quantum groups of rank two

We study two generalizations of the asymmetric simple exclusion process with two types of particles. Particles of type 1 can jump over particles of type 2, while particles of type 2 can only influence the jump rates of particles of type 1. We prove that the processes are self-dual and explicitly write the duality function. As an application, an expression for the r-th moment of the exponentiated current is written in terms of r-particle evolution. The construction and proofs of duality are accomplished using symmetry of the quantum groups $U_q(\mathfrak{gl}_3)$ and $U_q(\mathfrak{sp}_4)$, with each node in the Dynkin diagram corresponding to a particle type, and the number of edges corresponding to the jump rates.

The Gaussian free field in interlacing particle systems

We show that if an interlacing particle system in a two-dimensional lattice is a determinantal point process, and the correlation kernel can be expressed as a double integral with certain technical assumptions, then the moments of the fluctuations of the height function converge to that of the Gaussian free field. In particular, this shows that a previously studied random surface growth model with a reflecting wall has Gaussian free field fluctuations.

Three-dimensional Gaussian fluctuations of non-commutative random surfaces along time-like paths

We construct a continuous-time non-commutative random walk on $U(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ with dilation maps $U(\mathfrak{gl}_N)\rightarrow L^2(U(N))^{\otimes\infty}$. This is an analog of a continuous-time non-commutative random walk on the group von Neumann algebra $vN(U(N))$ constructed in [15], and is a variant of discrete-time non-commutative random walks on $U(\mathfrak{gl}_N)$ [2,9]. It is also shown that when restricting to the Gelfand-Tsetlin subalgebra of $U(\mathfrak{gl}_N),$ the non-commutative random walk matches a (2+1)-dimensional random surface model introduced in [7]. As an application, it is then proved that the moments converge to an explicit Gaussian field along time-like paths. Combining with [7] which showed convergence to the Gaussian free field along space-like paths, this computes the entire three-dimensional Gaussian field. In particular, it matches a Gaussian field from eigenvalues of random matrices [5].

Asymptotics of a discrete-time particle system near a reflecting boundary

We examine a discrete-time Markovian particle system on the quarter-plane introduced by M. Defosseux. The vertical boundary acts as a reflecting wall. The particle system lies in the Anisotropic Kardar-Parisi-Zhang with a wall universality class. After projecting to a single horizontal level, we take the longtime asymptotics and obtain the discrete Jacobi and symmetric Pearcey kernels. This is achieved by showing that the particle system is identical to a Markov chain arising from representations of the infinite-dimensional orthogonal group. The fixed-time marginals of this Markov chain are known to be determinantal point processes, allowing us to take the limit of the correlation kernel. We also give a simple example which shows that in the multi-level case, the particle system and the Markov chain evolve differently.

Random surface growth with a wall and Plancherel measures for O(infinity)

We consider a Markov evolution of lozenge tilings of a quarter-plane and study its asymptotics at large times. One of the boundary rays serves as a reflecting wall. We observe frozen and liquid regions, prove convergence of the local correlations to translation-invariant Gibbs measures in the liquid region, and obtain new discrete Jacobi and symmetric Pearcey determinantal point processes near the wall. The model can be viewed as the one-parameter family of Plancherel measures for the infinite-dimensional orthogonal group, and we use this interpretation to derive the determinantal formula for the correlation functions at any finite time moment.

Asymptotics of Plancherel measures for the infinite-dimensional unitary group

We study a two-dimensional family of probability measures on infinite Gelfand-Tsetlin schemes induced by a distinguished family of extreme characters of the infinite-dimensional unitary group. These measures are unitary group analogs of the well-known Plancherel measures for symmetric groups. We show that any measure from our family defines a determinantal point process, and we prove that in appropriate scaling limits, such processes converge to two different extensions of the discrete sine process as well as to the extended Airy and Pearcey processes.
