Duality relations for the ASEP conditioned on a low current
Abstract
We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on a finite lattice with periodic boundary conditions, conditioned to carry an atypically low current. For an infinite discrete set of currents, parametrized by the driving strength , , we prove duality relations which arise from the quantum algebra symmetry of the generator of the process with reflecting boundary conditions. Using these duality relations we prove on microscopic level a travelling-wave property of the conditioned process for a family of shock-antishock measures for particles: If the initial measure is a member of this family with microscopic shocks at positions , then the measure at any time of the process with driving strength is a convex combination of such measures with shocks at positions . which can be expressed in terms of -particle transition probabilities of the conditioned ASEP with driving strength .
