摘要:
在慢键问题中,完全非对称简单排他过程(TASEP)中单条边的速率从1降低到$1-\varepsilon$,其中$\varepsilon>0$很小。Janowsky和Lebowitz提出了一个著名的问题:如此微小的扰动是否会影响宏观电流。不同物理学家团队使用各种启发式方法和数值模拟,对$\varepsilon$的临界值是否为0得出了相反的结论。该问题最终由Basu-Sidoravicius-Sly严格解决,他们证明了$\varepsilon_c=0$。本文研究当$\varepsilon$趋于0时电流的效应,并由此解释为什么基于数值模拟进行预测如此困难。特别地,我们证明电流在0处具有无限阶相变,扰动的影响趋于0的速度比任何多项式都快。我们的证明聚焦于TASEP的最后通过渗流表述,其中慢键对应于加强对角线。我们给出一个多尺度分析,证明当$\varepsilon$很小时,加强的影响与最优测地线和近最优测地线之间的差异相比仍然很小。由于测地线可以在许多不同尺度上被扰动,我们通过控制近最优测地线的数量,并给出沿对角线的(近)测地线局部时间的新尾部估计,归纳地界定加强影响的尾部。
英文摘要:
In the slow bond problem the rate of a single edge in the Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP) is reduced from 1 to $1-\varepsilon$ for some small $\varepsilon>0$. Janowsky and Lebowitz posed the well-known question of whether such very small perturbations could affect the macroscopic current. Different groups of physicists, using a range of heuristics and numerical simulations reached opposing conclusions on whether the critical value of $\varepsilon$ is 0. This was ultimately resolved rigorously in Basu-Sidoravicius-Sly which established that $\varepsilon_c=0$. Here we study the effect of the current as $\varepsilon$ tends to 0 and in doing so explain why it was so challenging to predict on the basis of numerical simulations. In particular we show that the current has an infinite order phase transition at 0, with the effect of the perturbation tending to 0 faster than any polynomial. Our proof focuses on the Last Passage Percolation formulation of TASEP where a slow bond corresponds to reinforcing the diagonal. We give a multiscale analysis to show that when $\varepsilon$ is small the effect of reinforcement remains small compared to the difference between optimal and near optimal geodesics. Since geodesics can be perturbed on many different scales, we inductively bound the tails of the effect of reinforcement by controlling the number of near optimal geodesics and giving new tail estimates for the local time of (near) geodesics along the diagonal.
