Cutoff phenomenon for asymmetric zero range process with monotone rates

We investigate the mixing time of the asymmetric Zero Range process on the segment with a nondecreasing rate. We establish that the cutoff holds in the totally asymmetric case with a convex flux, and also with a concave flux if the asymmetry is strong enough. We show that the mixing occurs when the macroscopic system reaches equilibrium. A key ingredient of the proof, of independent interest, is the hydrodynamic limit for irregular initial data.

Abstract

We investigate the mixing time of the asymmetric Zero Range process on the segment with a nondecreasing rate. We establish that the cutoff holds in the totally asymmetric case with a convex flux, and also with a concave flux if the asymmetry is strong enough. We show that the mixing occurs when the macroscopic system reaches equilibrium. A key ingredient of the proof, of independent interest, is the hydrodynamic limit for irregular initial data.
