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.
I will tell about a long story in interacting particle systems that emerged across decades in several stages:
1. A second class particle in asymmetric exclusion (ASEP) and in an exponential bricklayers process (EBPL) sees certain shock-like distributions stationary.
2. Such shock-like distributions perform a simple random walk in both ASEP and EBLP (what does that mean…?)
3. It is in fact the second class particle in the middle of the shock that does the random walk (what does THIS mean…?). Besides ASEP and EBLP, it also works for an exponential zero range process (EZRP).
4. Q-zero range is yet another example that has this random walking property. The second class particle really helps to reveal this secret here.
The last step is recent, the ones before are old results.
