Cutoff at the symmetric boundary case for the SSEP with reservoirs

About 4 years old · traced to

Consider the symmetric simple exclusion process with reservoirs on a segment of size NN, with parameters pp and qq, and let t∗t^* denote the characteristic mixing-time scale. In the regime where pp is bounded away from 11, the source states that the cutoff window is of order O(1)\mathcal{O}(1), and when pp is also bounded away from 00, t∗=log⁡N2π2+O(1)t^*=\frac{\log N}{2\pi^2}+\mathcal{O}(1). Boundary-case cutoff conjecture. The system still exhibits cutoff at time

log⁡N2π2\frac{\log N}{2\pi^2}

when p=1p=1 and q=0q=0. This is the boundary case not covered by the stated sufficient condition, and the conjecture proposes that the same cutoff scale persists there.
