Abstract

We consider a totally asymmetric simple exclusion on ℤ with the step initial condition, under the additional restriction that the first particle cannot cross a deterministally moving wall. We prove that such a wall may induce asymptotic fluctuation distributions of particle positions of the form ℙ(supτ∈ ℝ\\textrmAiry2(τ) -g(τ)\≤ S) with arbitrary barrier functions g. This is the same class of distributions that arises as one-point asymptotic fluctuations of TASEPs with arbitrary initial conditions. Examples include Tracy-Widom GOE and GUE distributions, as well as a crossover between them, all arising from various particles behind a linearly moving wall. We also prove that if the right-most particle is second class, and a linearly moving wall is shock-inducing, then the asymptotic distribution of the position of the second class particle is a mixture of the uniform distribution on a segment and the atomic measure at its right end.
