We introduce the Mass Migration Process (MMP), a conservative particle system on N Z d . It consists in jumps of k particles (k ≥ 1) between sites, with a jump rate depending only on the state of the system at the departure and arrival sites of the jump. It generalizes misanthropes processes, hence in particular zero range and target processes. After the construction of MMP, our main focus is on its invariant measures. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of translation-invariant and invariant product probability measures. In the particular cases of asymmetric mass migration zero range and mass migration target dynamics, these conditions yield explicit solutions. If these processes are moreover attractive, we obtain a full characterization of all translation-invariant, invariant probability measures. We also consider attractiveness properties (through couplings) and condensation phenomena for MMP. We illustrate our results on many examples; in particular, we prove the coexistence of both condensation and attractiveness in one of them.
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.
