Transition to Shocks in TASEP and Decoupling of Last Passage Times
We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in a critical
scaling parametrized by , which creates a shock in the particle density
of order the observation time. When starting from step initial
data, we provide bounds on the limiting law which in particular imply that in
the double limit one recovers the
product limit law and the degeneration of the correlation length observed at
shocks of order . This result is shown to apply to a general last-passage
percolation model. We also obtain bounds on the two-point functions of several
processes.Comment: A few typos have been corrected. Published in the Latin American

Fluctuations of the competition interface in presence of shocks
We consider last passage percolation (LPP) models with exponentially
distributed random variables, which are linked to the totally asymmetric simple
exclusion process (TASEP). The competition interface for LPP was introduced and
studied by Ferrari and Pimentel in [Ann. Probab. 33 (2005), 1235-1254] for
cases where the corresponding exclusion process had a rarefaction fan. Here we
consider situations with a shock and determine the law of the fluctuations of
the competition interface around its deterministic law of large number
position. We also study the multipoint distribution of the LPP around the
shock, extending our one-point result of [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 61
(2015), 61-109].Comment: 33 pages, 4 figures, LaTe
Limit law of a second class particle in TASEP with non-random initial condition
We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) with
non-random initial condition having density on and
on , and a second class particle initially at the
origin. For , there is a shock and the second class particle
moves with speed . For large time , we show that the
position of the second class particle fluctuates on a scale and
determine its limiting law. We also obtain the limiting distribution of the
number of steps made by the second class particle until time .Comment: 30 pages, 4 figures, LaTeX; Minor improvement
