The process is constructed from a $(2j+1)$-dimensional representation of a quantum Hamiltonian with $U_q(\\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ invariance by applying a suitable ground-state transformation. After showing basic properties of the process ASEP$(q,j)$, we prove self-duality with several self-duality functions constructed from the symmetries of the quantum Hamiltonian. By making use of the self-duality property we compute the first $q$-exponential moment of the current for step initial conditions (both a shock or a rarefaction fan) as well as when the process is started from an homogeneous product measure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-07-12T10:27:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generalized asymmetric exclusion process", "stochastic duality", "quantum hamiltonian", "one-dimensional integer lattice", "step initial conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1407.3367C" } } }
