Higher order fluctuation fields and orthogonal duality polynomials

Inspired by the works in [2] and [11] we introduce what we call k-th-order fluctuation fields and study their scaling limits. This construction is done in the context of particle systems with the property of orthogonal self-duality. This type of duality provides us with a setting in which we are able to interpret these fields as some type of...

Orthogonal Dualities of Markov Processes and Unitary Symmetries

We study self-duality for interacting particle systems, where the particles move as continuous time random walkers having either exclusion interaction or inclusion interaction. We show that orthogonal self-dualities arise from unitary symmetries of the Markov generator. For these symmetries we provide two equivalent expressions that are related...

Orthogonal Stochastic Duality Functions from Lie Algebra Representations

We obtain stochastic duality functions for specific Markov processes using representation theory of Lie algebras. The duality functions come from the kernel of a unitary intertwiner between ∗-representations, which provides (generalized) orthogonality relations for the duality functions. In particular, we consider representations of the...

Quantitative Boltzmann–Gibbs Principles via Orthogonal Polynomial Duality

We study fluctuation fields of orthogonal polynomials in the context of particle systems with duality. We thereby obtain a systematic orthogonal decomposition of the fluctuation fields of local functions, where the order of every term can be quantified. This implies a quantitative generalization of the Boltzmann–Gibbs principle. In the...

Factorized Duality, Stationary Product Measures and Generating Functions

We find all self-duality functions of the form (Formula presented.)for a class of interacting particle systems. We call these duality functions of simple factorized form. The functions we recover are self-duality functions for interacting particle systems such as zero-range processes, symmetric inclusion and exclusion processes, as well as...
