Nonequilibrium steady states in asymmetric exclusion processes on a ring with bottlenecks

Abstract: Generic inhomogeneous steady states in an asymmetric exclusion process on a ring with a pair of point bottlenecks are studied. We show that, due to an underlying universal feature, measurements of coarse-grained steady-state densities in this model resolve the bottleneck structures only partially. Unexpectedly, it displays localization-delocalization transitions and confinement of delocalized domain walls, controlled by the interplay between particle number conservation and bottleneck competition for moderate … Show more

“…In other words, the bulk density should be uniform for sufficiently low average density. For a ring geometry, this implies n I (x) = K/(1 + K), with n I (x) = n 0 + h having a localised peak of height h = n 0 (1 − p)/p at the location of the point defect [10,12]. This is consistent with our discussions above.…”

“…As argued in Refs. [10,12], for a sufficiently low average density, the effect of the point defect is confined to creating a localised peak (or a dip) that has a vanishing width in the thermodynamic limit, in an otherwise homogeneous density profiles. In other words, the bulk density should be uniform for sufficiently low average density.…”

“…In the case of repulsive interaction, where a similar chessboardlike ordered phase is formed in the half-filled lattice [45,46], the order-disorder phase transition is modified due to the particle transport [47]. Last, we note that the effect of bottlenecks along a ring was recently studied by considering the asymmetric exclusion process [48], which is the simplest version of the driven lattice gases. The latter investigation is motivated by biological experiments indicating unidirectional circular ribosome translocations along messenger RNA loops with defects or slow codons in cells [49].…”
