Exact solution of TASEP and variants with inhomogeneous speeds and memory lengths

摘要: In [arXiv:1701.00018, arXiv:2107.07984] an explicit biorthogonalization method was developed that applies to a class of determinantal measures which describe the evolution of several variants of classical interacting particle systems in the KPZ universality class. The method leads to explicit Fredholm determinant formulas for the multipoint distributions of these systems which are suitable for asymptotic analysis. In this paper we extend the method to a broader class of determinantal measures which is applicable to systems where particles have different jump speeds and different memory lengths. As an application of our results we study three particular examples: some variants of TASEP with two blocks of particles having different speeds, a version of discrete time TASEP which mixes particles with sequential and parallel update, and a version of sequential TASEP where a single particle with long memory length (equivalently, a long "caterpillar") is added to the right of the system. In the last two cases we also include a formal asymptotic analysis which shows convergence to the KPZ fixed point.
