Limiting current distribution for a two species asymmetric exclusion process

Abstract

We study current fluctuations of a two-species asymmetric exclusion process, known as the Arndt-Heinzel-Rittenberg model. For a step-Bernoulli initial condition with finite number of particles, we provide an explicit multiple integral expression for a certain joint current probability distribution. By performing an asymptotic analysis we prove that the joint current distribution is given by a product of a Gaussian and a GUE Tracy-Widom distribution in the long time limit, as predicted by non-linear fluctuating hydrodynamics.
