Derivation of a Matrix Product Representation for the Asymmetric Exclusion Process from Algebraic Bethe Ansatz

چکیده
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 generate a quadratic algebra. Our construction provides explicit finite dimensional representations for the generators of this algebra.

The 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 کاملA matrix ansatz for the diffusion of an impurity in the asymmetric exclusion process
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 ti...

Recently it was shown that the eigenfunctions for the the asymmetric exclusion problem and several of its generalizations as well as a huge family of quantum chains, like the anisotropic Heisenberg model, Fateev-Zamolodchikov model, Izergin-Korepin model, Sutherland model, t − J model, Hubbard model, etc, can be expressed by a matrix product ansatz. Differently from the coordinate Bethe ansatz,...
متن کاملBethe Ansatz calculation of the spectral gap of the asymmetric exclusion process
We present a new derivation of the spectral gap of the totally asymmetric exclusion process on a half-filled ring of size L by using the Bethe Ansatz. We show that, in the large L limit, the Bethe equations reduce to a simple transcendental equation involving the polylogarithm, a classical special function. By solving that equation, the gap and the dynamical exponent are readily obtained. Our m...
متن کاملTotally Asymmetric Exclusion Process
The algebraic structure underlying the totally asymmetric exclusion process is studied by using the Bethe Ansatz. From the properties of the algebra generated by the local jump operators, we construct explicitly the hierarchy of operators that commute with the Markov operator. The transfer matrix, which is the generating function of these operators, is shown to represent a discrete Markov proce...
