Baik–Rains conjecture for the stationary TASEP two-point distribution

About 25 years old · traced to

Let ρameq(0,1)\rho ameq{}(0,1) be the stationary Bernoulli density, let Pρ\mathbb{P}_\rho be the corresponding TASEP path measure, and let ht(j)h_t(j) be the height function. For w∈Rw\in\mathbb{R}, define the observation point [(1−2ρ)t+4(ρ(1−ρ))1/3t2/3w][(1-2\rho)t+4(\rho(1-\rho))^{1/3}t^{2/3}w]. Baik–Rains conjecture. For fixed ρ\rho and ww, the centered and scaled height satisfies

lim⁡t→∞Pρ(−ht([(1−2ρ)t+4(ρ(1−ρ))1/3t2/3w])+2ρ(1−ρ)t+(1−2ρ)((1−2ρ)t+4(ρ(1−ρ))1/3t2/3w)≤2(ρ(1−ρ))2/3t1/3x)=Fw(x).\lim_{t\to\infty}\mathbb{P}_\rho\Big(-h_t([(1-2\rho)t+4(\rho(1-\rho))^{1/3}t^{2/3}w])+2\rho(1-\rho)t+(1-2\rho)\big((1-2\rho)t+4(\rho(1-\rho))^{1/3}t^{2/3}w\big)\\ \leq 2(\rho(1-\rho))^{2/3}t^{1/3}x\Big)=F_w(x).

The distribution FwF_w is identified in the cited work with the Baik–Rains distribution H(4w2+x;w,−w)H(4w^2+x;w,-w). This describes the stationary KPZ two-point fluctuation profile on the t2/3t^{2/3} spatial scale; the source presents it as a conjectural formula, while F0F_0 is also the distribution appearing at the critical point of the preceding classification.
