Here we consider asymptotics. Specifically, for the KPZ regime with step initial condition, we determine the conditional probability (asymptotically as $t\\to\\infty$) that a particle is the beginning of an $L$-block, given that it is at site $x$ at time $t$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-22T00:58:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymmetric simple exclusion process", "asymptotics", "step initial condition", "kpz regime", "earlier work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
