Seminario di Dominik Schmid a Roma Tre il 10/09/2026 ore 16:00
by Matteo Quattropani 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

Seminario di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica a Roma Tre 10/09/2026 Giovedì 10 Settembre alle ore 16.00, Dominik Schmid (University of Augsburg) terrà il seminario di Probabilità e Fisica Matematica dal titolo: "Random walk approximation for the stationary distribution of the open ASEP". Abstract: We investigate the structure of the stationary distribution of the open asymmetric simple exclusion process. More precisely, we show that the stationary distribution can be well-approximated by random walk measures. Our arguments rely on a recent characterization by Bryc of the stationary distribution as a two-layer Gibbs measure. Based on joint work with Zongrui Yang. Il seminario si svolgerà in presenza presso il Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica, Largo San Leonardo Murialdo, 1 - aula B308.
