We prove the hydrodynamic limit of a totally asymmetric zero range process on a torus with two lanes and randomly oriented edges. The asymmetry implies that the model is non-reversible. The random orientation of the edges is constructed in a bistochastic fashion which keeps the usual product distribution stationary for the quenched zero range model. It is also arranged to have no overall drift along the Z direction, which suggests diffusive scaling despite the asymmetry present in the dynamics. Indeed, using the relative entropy method, we prove the quenched hydrodynamic limit to be the heat equation with a diffusion coefficient depending on ergodic properties of the orientation of the edges.The zero range process on this graph turns out to be non-gradient. Our main novelty is the introduction of a local equilibrium measure which decomposes the vertices of the graph into components of constant density. A clever choice of these components eliminates the non-gradient problems that normally arise during the hydrodynamic limit procedure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
