Abstract

In this work, we present the multi-point probability distribution of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) in a half-space, starting from a general deterministic initial condition. More precisely, let h(t,x)h(t,x) denote the height function of TASEP at position xx and time tt; we provide an explicit formula for \begin{equation*} \mathbb{P}(h(t,y_1)\leq s_1, \ldots, h(t,y_m)\leq s_m). \end{equation*} The formula presented is well-suited for the scaling limit analysis. By applying a 1:2:3 scaling, we derive the probability distribution for the half-space KPZ fixed point, which is conjectured to be the universal process for the limit of the KPZ universality models restricted to a half-space.
