Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The multispecies totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (MTASEP) is an interacting particle system defined on a finite one-dimensional integer lattice with periodic boundary conditions. The exact stationary distribution of this Markov process was described by P. Ferrari and J. Martin using multiclass M/M/1 queues. Recently, T. Lam considered a random walk on the alcoves of an affine Weyl group conditioned never to cross the same hyperplane twice. He proved that the limiting direction of this walk exists almost surely, and conjectured a formula for it for \tilde{A}_n. I will describe joint work with S. Linusson, where we solved this conjecture by computing this limiting direction as certain correlations of the MTASEP.
Time permitting, I will describe extensions of our work for the affine Weyl group \tilde{C}_n. This involves the study of correlations in a multispecies exclusion process with open boundaries (i.e., allowing the entry and exit of particles). Here, we have also computed this limiting direction building on existing work of C. Arita, in joint work with E. Aas, S. Linusson and S. Potka.
