Condensation in models with factorized and pair-factorized stationary states

Statistical Mechanics 2015-09-09 v1

Abstract

Non-equilibrium real-space condensation is a phenomenon in which a finite fraction of some conserved quantity (mass, particles, etc.) becomes spatially localised. We review two popular stochastic models of hopping particles that lead to condensation and whose stationary states assume a factorized form: the zero-range process and the misanthrope process, and their various modifications. We also introduce a new model - a misanthrope process with parallel dynamics - that exhibits condensation and has a pair-factorized stationary state.
