Stochastic Sandpile Model: exact sampling and complete graph

We study the dynamics of the Stochastic Sandpile Model on finite graphs, with two main results. First, we describe a procedure to exactly sample from the stationary distribution of the model in all connected finite graphs, extending a result obtained by Levine and Liang for Activated Random Walks. Then, we study the model on the complete graph with a number of vertices tending to infinity and show that the stationary density tends to $1/2$. Along the way, we introduce a new point of view on the dynamics of the model, with active and sleeping particles, which may be of independent interest.
