Uniform-speed conjecture for a non-escaping impurity in TASEP
Uniform-speed conjecture for a non-escaping impurity in TASEP
Let an impurity in the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process have jumping rates and , and initially be located at the interface of a - profile. Assume that and condition on the impurity not escaping the rarefaction fan. Uniform-speed conjecture. The asymptotic speed of the impurity is uniformly distributed over the interval
For or , the impurity can escape from the rarefaction fan and acquire speed or , respectively; determining the conditional non-uniform distributions remains an open problem, while numerical evidence supports the stated uniform law.
