OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
I will introduce an interacting particle system called PushASEP where particles attempt nearest neighbour jumps on the integer lattice and remain in the same order due to local interactions of pushing and blocking between particles. With a wall at the origin, the paths of the particles can be viewed as a discrete-time growth process. I will describe this process, its invariant measure and relations to the Polynuclear growth model and random matrices.
