We study a stochastic system of $N$ interacting particles which models bimolecular chemical reaction-diffusion. In this model, each particle $i$ carries two attributes: the spatial location $X_t^i\in \mathbb{T}^d$, and the type $\Xi_t^i\in…

We study a system of particles which jump on the sites of the interval $[1,L]$ of $\mathbb Z$. The density at the boundaries is kept fixed to simulate the action of mass reservoirs. The evolution depends on two parameters $\lambda'\ge 0$…
