Abstract:
The totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP) is one of the solvable models in the KPZ universality class. When TASEP starts with certain initial conditions, it presents shocks in the evolution. Particles near the shocks have fluctuations on the t1/3 scale. For one type of initial condition, the fluctuations are known to be on the t1/2 scale due to the initial randomness. In this talk, I will describe how to see the t1/3 fluctuations for these initial conditions.
