Spectral gap for the zero range process with constant rate

Ben Morris

Published 2004-05-10, updated 2006-11-20Version 3

We solve an open problem concerning the relaxation time (inverse spectral gap) of the zero range process in $\mathbf {Z}^d/L\mathbf {Z}^d$ with constant rate, proving a tight upper bound of $O((\rho +1)^2L^2)$, where $\rho$ is the density of particles.
