Correlation Function of Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process with Open Boundaries

Abstract We investigate the correlation functions of the one-dimensional Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) with open boundaries. The conditions for the boundaries are made most general. The correlation function is expressed in a multifold integral whose behavior we study in detail. We present a phase diagram of the correlation length. For the case the correlation length diverges, we further give the leading terms of the finite-size correction.
