Limit shape and fluctuations in the inhomogeneous exponential jump model

Inhomogeneous exponential jump model

[2017/03/09]

We introduce and study the inhomogeneous exponential jump model — an integrable stochastic interacting particle system on the continuous half line evolving in continuous time. An important feature of the system is the presence of arbitrary spatial inhomogeneity on the half line which does not break the integrability. We completely characterize the macroscopic limit shape and asymptotic fluctuations of the height function (= integrated current) in the model.

Reading seminar on integrable probability in Spring 2017

In the Spring 2017 me and Axel Saenz will continue with the Integrable Probability Reading Seminar. This time the topic will be “From random tilings to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality.” In terms of content, this is not a continuation of the Fall’s seminar. In the Spring, the seminar’s aim is to give a user-friendly introduction to modern and rapidly developing topics in probability theory with connections to combinatorics, algebra, representation theory on one side, and statistical physics and many other applications on the other side.

A flowchart for Macdonald processes and some of their specializations and limits (from talks of the authors on the subject)

5 years of Macdonald Processes

[2016/11/18]

Today marks a 5-year anniversary of the paper “Macdonald Processes” by A. Borodin and I. Corwin. It was posted on the arXiv on November 18, 2011 (arxiv.org/abs/1111.4408) and was subsequently published at Probability Theory and Related Fields (2014), Volume 158, Issue 1, pp 225–400. As of this day, Google Scholar counts 178 citations to this paper.
