Inhomogeneous discrete-time exclusion processes
We study discrete time Markov processes with periodic or open boundary
conditions and with inhomogeneous rates in the bulk. The Markov matrices are
given by the inhomogeneous transfer matrices introduced previously to prove the
integrability of quantum spin chains. We show that these processes have a
simple graphical interpretation and correspond to a sequential update. We
compute their stationary state using a matrix ansatz and express their
normalization factors as Schur polynomials. A connection between Bethe roots
and Lee-Yang zeros is also pointed out.Comment: 30 pages, 10 figures; a short paragraph at the end to justify the
form of the sequential update has been added; the justification of the
transfer matrix degree is detaile
Open two-species exclusion processes with integrable boundaries
We give a complete classification of integrable Markovian boundary conditions
for the asymmetric simple exclusion process with two species (or classes) of
particles. Some of these boundary conditions lead to non-vanishing particle
currents for each species. We explain how the stationary state of all these
models can be expressed in a matrix product form, starting from two key
components, the Zamolodchikov-Faddeev and Ghoshal-Zamolodchikov relations. This
statement is illustrated by studying in detail a specific example, for which
the matrix Ansatz (involving 9 generators) is explicitly constructed and
physical observables (such as currents, densities) calculated.Comment: 19 pages; typos corrected, more details on the Matrix Ansatz algebr
Classical diffusion of N interacting particles in one dimension: General results and asymptotic laws
I consider the coupled one-dimensional diffusion of a cluster of N classical
particles with contact repulsion. General expressions are given for the
probability distributions, allowing to obtain the transport coefficients. In
the limit of large N, and within a gaussian approximation, the diffusion
constant is found to behave as N^{-1} for the central particle and as (\ln
N)^{-1} for the edge ones. Absolute correlations between the edge particles
increase as (\ln N)^{2}. The asymptotic one-body distribution is obtained and
discussed in relation of the statistics of extreme events.Comment: 6 pages, 2 eps figure
Partially 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 hop also backward with the rate q. Using Matrix Product Ansatz (MPA),
we obtain the relevant quadratic algebra. A finite dimensional representation
of this algebra enables us to compute the stationary bulk density of the
ordinary particles, as well as the speed of impurity on a set of special
surfaces of the parameter space. We will obtain the phase structure of this
model in the accessible region and show how the phase structure of the original
model is modified. In the infinite-volume limit this model presents a shock in
one of its phases.Comment: Adding more references and doing minor corrections, 16 pages and 3

Effects of the low frequencies of noise on On-Off intermittency
A bifurcating system subject to multiplicative noise can exhibit on-off
intermittency close to the instability threshold. For a canonical system, we
discuss the dependence of this intermittency on the Power Spectrum Density
(PSD) of the noise. Our study is based on the calculation of the Probability
Density Function (PDF) of the unstable variable. We derive analytical results
for some particular types of noises and interpret them in the framework of
on-off intermittency. Besides, we perform a cumulant expansion for a random
noise with arbitrary power spectrum density and show that the intermittent
regime is controlled by the ratio between the departure from the threshold and
the value of the PSD of the noise at zero frequency. Our results are in
agreement with numerical simulations performed with two types of random
perturbations: colored Gaussian noise and deterministic fluctuations of a
chaotic variable. Extensions of this study to another, more complex, system are
presented and the underlying mechanisms are discussed.Comment: 13pages, 13 figure

The comparisons are summarized. The quantities compared include Bayesian weighted least squares differential correction statistics and orbit solution consistency and accuracy
Derivation 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 generate a quadratic algebra. Our construction
provides explicit finite dimensional representations for the generators of this
algebra.Comment: 16 page
Discrepancy between sub-critical and fast rupture roughness: a cumulant analysis
We study the roughness of a crack interface in a sheet of paper. We
distinguish between slow (sub-critical) and fast crack growth regimes. We show
that the fracture roughness is different in the two regimes using a new method
based on a multifractal formalism recently developed in the turbulence
literature. Deviations from monofractality also appear to be different in both
regimes
Exact spectrum and partition function of SU(m|n) supersymmetric Polychronakos model
By using the fact that Polychronakos-like models can be obtained through the
`freezing limit' of related spin Calogero models, we calculate the exact
spectrum as well as partition function of SU(m|n) supersymmetric Polychronakos
(SP) model. It turns out that, similar to the non-supersymmetric case, the
spectrum of SU(m|n) SP model is also equally spaced. However, the degeneracy
factors of corresponding energy levels crucially depend on the values of
bosonic degrees of freedom (m) and fermionic degrees of freedom (n). As a
result, the partition functions of SP models are expressed through some novel
q-polynomials. Finally, by interchanging the bosonic and fermionic degrees of
freedom, we obtain a duality relation among the partition functions of SP
models.Comment: Latex, 20 pages, no figures, minor typos correcte
