Hammersley’s process with sources and sinks

Abstract: We show that, for a stationary version of Hammersley's process, with Poisson "sources" on the positive x-axis, and Poisson "sinks" on the positive y-axis, an isolated second-class particle, located at the origin at time zero, moves asymptotically, with probability 1, along the characteristic of a conservation equation for Hammersley's process. This allows us to show that Hammersley's process without sinks or sources, as defined by Aldous and Diaconis [Probab. Theory Related Fields 10 (1995) 199-213] converges … Show more

“…This does seem to be the most important contribution of the interacting fluid representation: once we have a good candidate for ν α , we can check it by showing that it is invariant under the evolution of the interacting fluid. In fact, even in the results for the classical Hammersley case found in Aldous and Diaconis [1] and Cator and Groeneboom [5,6], this is where the interacting particle process proves its worth.…”

“…1 we can see that ν * ((0, t]) = 10, whereas ν * ((0, t/2]) = 4. We can compare ν * to the process of sinks in the classical Hammersley process with sources and sinks, as defined in [5]. We then have the following lemma.…”

“…Burke's Theorem for Hammersley's process (see Cator and Groeneboom (2005)) shows that this process is again a stationary Hammersley process, if we start with a stationary process. It is not hard to see from Figure 2 that the trajectories of X and X ′ correspond to longest paths from (x, t) to (0, 0) in the reversed process.…”

“…In Cator and Groeneboom (2005), a connection was made between the continuous time Hammersley process and the behavior of second class particles, which are well studied in the literature on discrete interacting particle systems such as TASEP; see for example Liggett (1999). For the Hammersley process, it is natural to consider two types of second class particles: the usual one, where one adds an extra particle at the origin, and a dual second class particle, which corresponds to adding an extra sink at the origin (or removing the leftmost particle).…”
