The upper-right two-point correlation conjecture for continuous TASEP

For a continuous TASEP on a ring with nn particles, let

ci,j(n)=P(wa=i,wa+1=j)c_{i,j}(n)=\operatorname{\mathbb P}(w_a=i,w_{a+1}=j)

be the stationary two-point correlation for an adjacent pair, where aa is arbitrary. The upper-right correlation conjecture. For every i+1<ji+1<j,

ci,j(n)=n(n+j2).c_{i,j}(n)=\frac{n}{\binom{n+j}{2}}.

The conjecture is motivated by computed correlation tables for n6n\le 6 and describes the apparently constant upper-right part of the correlation matrix. The paper also states a stronger conjecture covering all pairs, which subsumes this one.
