In this article, we study the BBS when started from a random two-sided infinite particle configuration. For such a model, Ferrari et al. recently showed the invariance in distribution of Bernoulli product measures with density strictly less than \u0000\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 1\u0000 2\u0000 \u0000 frac {1}{2}\u0000 \u0000\u0000, and gave a soliton decomposition for invariant measures more generally. We study the BBS dynamics using the transformation of a nearest neighbour path encoding of the particle configuration given by ‘reflection in the past maximum’, which was famously shown by Pitman to connect Brownian motion and a three-dimensional Bessel process. We use this to characterise the set of configurations for which the dynamics are well-defined and reversible (i.e. can be inverted) for all times. The techniques developed to understand the deterministic dynamics are subsequently applied to study the evolution of the BBS from a random initial configuration. Specifically, we give simple sufficient conditions for random initial conditions to be invariant in distribution under the BBS dynamics, which we check in several natural examples, and also investigate the ergodicity of the relevant transformation. Furthermore, we analyse various probabilistic properties of the BBS that are commonly studied for interacting particle systems, such as the asymptotic behavior of the integrated current of particles and of a tagged particle.

Gantner","doi":"10.1090/memo/1297","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1090/memo/1297","url":null,"abstract":"Two themes drive this article: identifying the structure necessary to formulate quaternionic operator theory and revealing the relation between complex and quaternionic operator theory. \u0000The theory of quaternionic right linear operators is usually formulated assuming the existenc of both a right- and a left-multiplication on the Banach space $V$, as the space of bounded operators on $V$ is otherwise not a quaternionic linear space. A right linear operator is however only associated with the right-multiplication and in certain settings, e.g. on Hilbert spaces, the left-multiplication is not defined a priori but must be chosen randomly. Spectral properties of an operator should hence be independent of this left multiplication. \u0000We show that results derived from functional calculi for intrinsic slice functions can be formulated without the assumption of a left multiplication. We develop the S-functional calculus in this setting and a new approach to spectral integration. This approach has a clear interpretation in terms of the right linear structure on the space and allows to formulate the spectral theorem without using any randomly chosen structure. Our techniques only apply to intrinsic slice functions, but only these functions are compatible with the basic intuition of a functional calculus that $f(T)$ should be defined by letting $f$ act on the spectral values of $T$. \u0000Using these tools, we develop a theory of quaternionic spectral operators. In particular, we show the existence of a canonical decomposition of such operator and discuss its behavior under the S-functional calculus. \u0000Finally, we show a relation with complex operator theory: if we embed the complex numbers into the quaternions, then complex and quaternionic operator theory are consistent. The symmetry of intrinsic slice functions guarantees that this compatibility is true for any imbedding of the complex numbers.","PeriodicalId":49828,"journal":{"name":"Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82632674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
