We study the one-dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process on the lattice ${1,dots,N}$ with creation/annihilation at the boundaries. The boundary rates are time dependent and change on a slow time scale $N^{-a}$ with $a>0$. We prove that at the time scale $N^{1+a}$ the system evolves quasi-statically with a macroscopic density profile given by the entropy solution of the stationary Burgers equation with boundary densities changing in time, determined by the corresponding microscopic boundary rates. We consider two different types of boundary rates: the Liggett boundaries that correspond to the projection of the infinite dynamics, and the reversible boundaries, that correspond to the contact with particle reservoirs in equilibrium. The proof is based on the control of the Lax boundary entropy--entropy flux pairs and a coupling argument.

We consider the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the one-dimensional lattice. The particles can be created/annihilated at the boundaries with time-dependent rate. These boundary dynamics are properly accelerated. We prove the hydrodynamic limit of the particle density profile, under the hyperbolic space-time rescaling, evolves with the entropy solution to Burgers equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The boundary conditions are characterised by boundary entropy flux pair.
We study mixing times of the symmetric and asymmetric simple exclusion process on the segment where particles are allowed to enter and exit at the endpoints. We consider different regimes depending on the entering and exiting rates as well as on the rates in the bulk, and show that the process exhibits pre-cutoff and in some cases cutoff. Our main contribution is to study mixing times for the asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries. We show that the order of the mixing time can be linear or exponential in the size of the segment depending on the choice of the boundary parameters, proving a strikingly different (and richer) behavior for the simple exclusion process with open boundaries than for the process on the closed segment. Our arguments combine coupling, second class particle and censoring techniques with current estimates. A novel idea is the use of multi-species particle arguments, where the particles only obey a partial ordering.
The diffusivity $D(t)$ of finite-range asymmetric exclusion processes on $mathbb Z$ with non-zero drift is expected to be of order $t^{1/3}$. Sepp{a}lainen and Balazs recently proved this conjecture for the nearest neighbor case. We extend their results to general finite range exclusion by proving that the Laplace transform of the diffusivity is of the conjectured order. We also obtain a pointwise upper bound for $D(t)$ the correct order.
Strong negative dependence properties have recently been proved for the symmetric exclusion process. In this paper, we apply these results to prove convergence to the Poisson and normal distributions for various functionals of the process.
We study the driven Brownian motion of hard rods in a one-dimensional cosine potential with an amplitude large compared to the thermal energy. In a closed system, we find surprising features of the steady-state current in dependence of the particle density. The form of the current-density relation changes greatly with the particle size and can exhibit both a local maximum and minimum. The changes are caused by an interplay of a barrier reduction, blocking and exchange symmetry effect. The latter leads to a current equal to that of non-interacting particles for a particle size commensurate with the period length of the cosine potential. For an open system coupled to particle reservoirs, we predict five different phases of non-equilibrium steady states to occur. Our results show that the particle size can be of crucial importance for non-equilibrium phase transitions in driven systems. Possible experiments for demonstrating our findings are pointed out.
