Steady-state ratio conjecture for the doubly asymmetric simple exclusion process

Let D=DASEP(n,p,q)D=\textnormal{DASEP}(n,p,q) be parameterized by tt and uu as described above. For a partition λ\lambda with Sn(λ)DS_n(\lambda)\subseteq D, let Sn(λ)S_n(\lambda) denote the set of permutations associated with λ\lambda, and let μ,νSn(λ)\mu,\nu\in S_n(\lambda) be arbitrary permutations. Write Pr\textnormal{Pr} and Pd\textnormal{Pd} for the steady-state probability functions of the ASEP and DASEP, respectively.

Steady-state ratio conjecture. The following statements are equivalent: t=1t=1; and, for all such partitions λ\lambda and all permutations μ,νSn(λ)\mu,\nu\in S_n(\lambda),

Pr(μ)Pr(ν)=Pd(μ)Pd(ν).\frac{\textnormal{Pr}(\mu)}{\textnormal{Pr}(\nu)}=\frac{\textnormal{Pd}(\mu)}{\textnormal{Pd}(\nu)}.

That is, the ratio between steady-state probabilities does not change when moving from the ASEP to the DASEP. The preceding theorem proves this equivalence for D=DASEP(3,2,2)D=\textnormal{DASEP}(3,2,2); the conjecture proposes the corresponding result for general n,p,qn,p,q.
