Invitation to Seminar Talk
Shock Statistics in TASEP
Peter Nejjar
IST Austria
Host: Laszlo Erdös
We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP), an interacting particle
system which belongs to a universality class of growth models, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class.
A feature of TASEP is that a deterministic limit shape emerges, and around this shape, one has
random fluctuations. In many instances, these fluctuations are asymptotically given by TracyWidom distributions from random matrix theory. Here we consider the case where the limit shape
has a point of non-differentiability, called shock, and study the fluctuations and correlation length
at this point.
Joint work with Patrik Ferrari.
