Duality and exactly solvable models in non-equilibrium.
Duality is one the powerful methods in interacting particle systems.
Recently we introduced a Lie algebraic approach that
on one hand explains existing dualities such as for the symmetric
exclusion process (SEP), and for stochastic models of heat conduction
(KMP),
and on the other hand gives a constructive machinery to build new models.
For classical Lie agebras this method gives symmetric processes, and
in order to build the corresponding asymmetric processes, one has
to pass to the corresponding deformed algebras. We will explain this
approach from a variety of concrete model examples such as SEP, ASEP,
SIP, ASIP, KMP etc.
There will be three parts:
1. Introduction to stochastic models of heat conduction: Brownian
momentum process, Brownian energy process,
KMP process, and their duals: symmetric inclusion process (SIP).
2. Dualities and symmetries; we first show the connection between self
duality functions and operators that commute with the generator
(symmetries).
We then show how the generator L of SIP can be constructed from Lie
algebraic ingredients, i.e.,
from a coproduct applied to the Casimir operator of SU(1,1). This by
construction implies that L has many commuting operators.
This illustrates a general constructive procedure for processes with
many symmetries, and hence self-dualities.
We illustrate how this applies also for exclusion process and related
models by going from SU(1,1) to SU(2).
3. Construction of asymmetric processes with symmetries and
self-dualities. We then show how the formalism of the second item can
be implemented for quantum Lie algebras,
such as q-deformation of SU(2) (gives asymmetric exlcusion and
generalizations) and SU(1,1) which gives ASIP and an asymmetric KMP
process.

Hydrodynamics and quenched local equilibrium for disordered asymmetric
zero-range process.
(Joint with T. Mountford, K. Ravishankar end Ellen Saada)
We consider the asymmetric zero-range process on the line with
site-disordered jump rates
This model is known to exhibit a phase transition (Ferrari-Krug 1996)
if the disorder distribution
has a smooth enough tail around its minimum (which corresponds to
slowest sites),
in which case there is a critical density above which no invariant
measure exists.
The hydrodynamic limit for this process was studied by Benjamini and al.
(1996) in the subcritical regime.
Krug and Sepp\"alainen (2000) extended the hydrodynamic limit to the
supercritical regime only in the case
of total asymmetry and constant jump rates. On the other hand, local
equilibrium results are well-known (Landim (1993)) for the
tranlsation invariant process, but are missing in the disordered case.
In this work, for general zero-range processes, we establish the
hydrodynamic limit
including the supercritical regime, the quenched local equilibrium in
the subcritical regime, and show that the local equilibrium
in the supercritical regime is modified and sees only the critical density.
The latter phenomenon is a space-time version of the loss of mass due to
Bose-Einstein condensation
(Ferrai-Sisko 2007, Andjel et al. 2000, Bahadoran et al. 2015).

Random walk on environments with spectral gap.
Perturbations of Markov processes and applications.
We consider random walks in random environments with positive spectral
gap. Under suitable assumptions on the "asymmetry" of the jump rates
w.r.t. the reference measure, we identify the invariant measure for
the process seen from the walker and establish a law of large numbers
and invariance principle for the walker. These findings rely on a
general result concerning L^2 perturbations of Markov generators. We
have in mind applications to random walks on a toy model for glassy
systems.

From the quantum Lie algebra $U_q(Sl_2)$ to the ASEP $(q,j)$.
Stochastic duality is a key tool that allows to study an interacting particle system in
terms of a finite number of dual particles. In many cases duality can be traced back to the
underlying algebraic structure of the system. In this talk I will present a new constructive
algebraic approach to self-duality based on the link with representation theory of Lie
algebras. In particular I will show how the general scheme has been implemented in
the case of the $U_q(Sl_2)$ Lie algebra, to construct a new self-dual process, the ASEP $(q,j)$,
that is an extension of the standard Asymmetric Exclusion Process to a situation where
sites can accommodate more than one (namely $2j$) particles per site. The process is
constructed from a ($2j+1$)-dimensional representation of a quantum Hamiltonian with $U_q(Sl_2)$
invariance by applying a suitable ground-state transformation.

Modelling of collective dynamics : Hydrodynamics of a non-gradient spin process.
Extensive work has been put in the modelling of collective dynamics in the last decades, building on the work of Viscek&Al (1995). However, most of the theoretical background in collective dynamics modelling relies on mean-field approximations. I will present a lattice model where interactions between partices happen at a purely microscopic level, and describe some of the challenges in the proof of its hydrodynamic limit.

Biased random walk among random conductances.
For a biased random walk among random conductances, we discuss the
Einstein relation as well as the monotonicity of the speed as a function
of the bias.
We consider the effective diffusivity (i.e. the covariance matrix in the
central limit theorem) of a random walk among random conductances. It is
interesting and non-trivial to describe this diffusivity in terms of the
law of the conductances. The Einstein relation gives a different
interpretation of the effective diffusivity as mobility. The
mobility measures the response of the diffusing particle to a constant
exterior force: Consider the perturbed process obtained by imposing a
constant drift of strength $\lambda$ in some fixed direction. The
perturbed motion satisfies (as one can show in many examples) a law
of large numbers with effective velocity $v(\lambda)$. The mobility is
the derivative of $v(\lambda)$ as $\lambda$
goes to 0. The Einstein relation says that the mobility and the
diffusivity of a particle coincide.
The Einstein relation is conjectured to hold for a variety of models,
but it is proved insofar only for particular cases. We explain how it
follows from an expansion of the invariant measures for the environment,
seen from the particle.
The talk is based on joint work with Jan Nagel and Xiaoqin Guo.
Kevin Kuoch (University of Groningen, Netherlands) Ergodic theory of the simple inclusion process. The simple inclusion process (SIP) is an interacting particle system where particles perform nearest-neighbour jumps according to a simple symmetric random walk and interact by an "inclusion rule", that is, any particle invites a neighbouring particle to come over its site at rate 1. In the purpose the ergodic theory of the SIP, we show the existence of a successful coupling for a finite number of SIP-particles. As a consequence, we characterise the ergodic measures and their attractors. This is a joint work with Prof F.H.J. Redig (TU Delft).

Hydrodynamic spectrum of one-dimensional bulk-driven particle gases.
Interacting particle gases are often used as toy models to gain
insight on more complex systems, especially when out of equilibrium,
where a general theoretical framework (such as an equivalent of the
free energy) is not available. There are two main ways to approach
them analytically: either one can solve them exactly, or one may
propose an effective coarse-grained description in the hope that it
captures the essential features of the model. The first approach is in
principle powerful but very restrictive, and understanding how the
second (more versatile) approach can be attempted systematically is a
major problem in modern statistical physics.
An important step in that direction was achieved through the so-called
Macroscopic Fluctuation Theory (MFT), which gives a systematic
expression of the large deviation function of hydrodynamic currents
and densities for diffusive (boundary-driven or weakly bulk-driven)
models.
In this talk, we will conjecture that this same formalism can be
applied to bulk-driven models through a non-rigorous trick, yielding,
for instance, the large deviation function of the current flowing
through the system, with a few important differences, which make those
models arguably richer than diffusive ones: first, information can be
easily obtained on a large family of excited states as well as on the
steady state, which is not the case, or at least more difficult, for
diffusive systems ; and secondly, one can find regimes where this
approach breaks down, leading to dynamical phase transitions which are
not present in diffusive systems.
All of these conjectures will be checked against the asymmetric simple
exclusion process (ASEP), which is solvable exactly.

Disorder-induced traveling waves in the quenched Kuramoto model.
This is joint work with Christophe Poquet (Roma).
We will discuss the long time behavior of the stochastic Kuramoto
synchronization model with disorder. The Kuramoto model consists in a
system of N mean-field interacting diffusions on the circle
(rotators), with quenched inhomogeneous frequencies. On a finite time
scale [0, T], the Kuramoto model is known to be self-averaging: the
empirical measure of the system converges as $N\to\infty$ to the
deterministic solution of a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation which
exhibits a stable manifold of stationary solutions (at least when the
interaction between rotators is strong enough).
The purpose of the talk is to show that, on longer times scales (of
order $\sqrt N$), the finite-size fluctuations of the quenched
disorder compete with the noise and makes the system deviate from this
mean-field behavior: we prove the existence of traveling-waves along
the stationary manifold, generated by the asymmetry of the quenched
disorder.

Percolation games, probabilistic cellular automata, and the
hard-core model.
Let each site of the grid ${\mathbb Z}^2$ be closed with probability $p$
and open with probability $1-p$, independently for different sites.
Consider the following two-player game: a token starts at the
origin, and a move consists of moving the token from its current
site $x$ to an open site in $\{x+(0,1),x+(1,0)\}$; if both these sites are
closed, then the player to move loses the game. Is there positive
probability that the game is drawn with best play -- i.e. that
neither player can force a win? This is equivalent to the question
of ergodicity of a certain one-dimensional probabilistic cellular
automaton (PCA), which has already been studied from several
perspectives, for example in the enumeration of directed animals in
combinatorics, in relation to the golden-mean subshift in symbolic
dynamics, and in the context of the hard-core model in statistical
physics. In a joint work with J. B. Martin and A. E. Holroyd, we
prove that the PCA is ergodic for all p, and that no draws occur for
the game on $\mathbb Z^2$. I will present this result, together with some extensions
to higher dimensional games.

End point localization in log gamma polymer model.
As a general fact, directed polymers in random environment
are localized in the so-called
strong disorder phase. In this talk, based on a joint work with
Francis Comets, we will consider the exctly
solvable model with log-gamma environment, introduced recently by
Seppalainen. For the stationary
model and the point-to-line version, the localization can be expressed
as the trapping of the end-point in
a potential given by an independent random walk.

Quenched invariance principle for random walks on Poisson-Delaunay triangulations.
The Voronoi tiling of an infinite locally finite subset $\xi$ of $\mathbf{R}^d$ is the collection of the Voronoi cells:
$$\operatorname{Vor}_\xi(x)=\left\{y\in\mathbf{R}^d:\Vert y-x\Vert\leq\Vert y-x'\Vert,\forall x'\in\xi\right\},\qquad x\in\xi.$$
The associated Delaunay triangulation is its dual graph in which there is an edge between vertices $x$ et $x'$ if $\operatorname{Vor}_\xi(x)$ and $\operatorname{Vor}_\xi(x)$ share a $(d-1)$-dimensional face. When $\xi$ is distributed according to a Poisson point process, this graph is called Poisson-Delaunay triangulation. These realistic models found applications in various fields such that geography, biology or telecommunications.
In this talk, we present a quenched invariance principle for the variable speed nearest-neighbor random walk $(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ on the Delaunay triangulation of a realization $\xi$ of a Poisson point process, that is for the Markov process with generator:
\begin{equation}\label{EqDefGene}
\mathcal{L}^\xi f(x):=\sum_{y\in\xi}\mathbf{1}_{y\sim x}\left(f(y)-f(x)\right),\qquad x\in\xi.
\end{equation}
In other words, we show that, for a.e. realization $\xi$ of the point process and all starting point $x\in\xi$, the rescaled process $(X^\varepsilon_t)_{t\geq 0}=(\varepsilon X_{\varepsilon^{-2}t})_{t\geq 0}$ converges in law as $\varepsilon$ tends to $0$ to a nondegenerate Brownian motion under quenched law.
