A matrix ansatz for the diffusion of an impurity in the asymmetric exclusion process
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the fluctuations of the position of an impurity in the asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with an arbitrary number of particles and holes. The steady state of this model is exactly known and four different phases appear in the limit of a large system. We calculate the diffusion constant of the impurity by using a matrix product method and also obtain a representation for unequal time correlation functions. We show that our results found by the matrix ansatz agree with those obtained previously by the Bethe ansatz. PACS numbers: 05.50.+q, 05.60.Cd, 66.30.Lw

Bethe Ansatz Solution for a Defect Particle in the Asymmetric Exclusion Process
The asymmetric exclusion process on a ring in one-dimension is considered with a single defect particle. The steady state has previously been solved by a matrix product method. Here we use the Bethe ansatz to solve exactly for the long time limit behaviour of the generating function of the distance travelled by the defect particle. This allows us to recover steady state properties known from th...
متن کاملDerivation of a Matrix Product Representation for the Asymmetric Exclusion Process from Algebraic Bethe Ansatz
We derive, using the algebraic Bethe Ansatz, a generalized Matrix Product Ansatz for the asymmetric exclusion process (ASEP) on a one-dimensional periodic lattice. In this Matrix Product Ansatz, the components of the eigenvectors of the ASEP Markov matrix can be expressed as traces of products of non-commuting operators. We derive the relations between the operators involved and show that they ...
متن کاملThe Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process : An Integrable Model for Non-Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
The Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) plays the role of a paradigm in NonEquilibrium Statistical Mechanics. We review exact results for the ASEP obtained by Bethe Ansatz and put emphasis on the algebraic properties of this model. The Bethe equations for the eigenvalues of the Markov Matrix of the ASEP are derived from the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. Using these equations we explain how to ...
متن کاملPartially Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Model in the Presence of an Impurity on a Ring
We study a generalized two-species model on a ring. The original model [1] describes ordinary particles hopping exclusively in one direction in the presence of an impurity. The impurity hops with a rate different from that of ordinary particles and can be overtaken by them. Here we let the ordinary particles also hop backward with the rate q. Using Matrix Product Ansatz (MPA), we obtain the rel...
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of the Asymmetric Exclusion Problem With Particles of Arbitrary Size: Matrix Product Ansatz
The exact solution of the asymmetric exclusion problem and several of its generalizations is obtained by a matrix product ansatz. Due to the similarity of the master equation and the Schrödinger equation at imaginary times the solution of these problems reduces to the diagonalization of a one dimensional quantum Hamiltonian. We present initially the solution of the problem when an arbitrary mix...
