Advances in Stochastic Duality for Interacting Particle Systems: from many to few

Interacting particle systems (IPS) is a subfield of probability theory that provided a fruitful framework in which several questions of physical interests have been answered with mathematical rigor. An interacting particle system is a stochastic system consisting of a very large number of particles interacting with each other. The class of IPS...

Switching Interacting Particle Systems: Scaling Limits, Uphill Diffusion and Boundary Layer

This paper considers three classes of interacting particle systems on Z: independent random walks, the exclusion process, and the inclusion process. Particles are allowed to switch their jump rate (the rate identifies the type of particle) between 1 (fast particles) and ϵ∈ [0 , 1] (slow particles). The switch between the two jump rates...

Hydrodynamics for the partial exclusion process in random environment

In this paper, we introduce a random environment for the exclusion process in Z^d obtained by assigning a maximal occupancy to each site. This maximal occupancy is allowed to randomly vary among sites, and partial exclusion occurs. Under the assumption of ergodicity under translation and uniform ellipticity of the environment, we...
