TL;DR
The paper extends zeta-function analysis to interacting particle systems (IPS), using the Domany-Kinzel model as a representative probabilistic IPS. It defines the IPS-type zeta function $ar{oldsymbol{ aisebox{0pt}{ aisebox{-0.2pt}{ ext}}}ar{}}(Q^{(l)}, P_N,u)$ and studies the global evolution operator $Q_N^{(g)}$ on an $N$-site configuration space, deriving trace and spectral relationships that yield closed-form expressions for the configuration-count coefficients $C_r$ and the zeta function in key regimes. A central result is the hierarchical spectrum relation $ ext{Spec}(Q_N^{(g)})= ext{Spec}(Q_{N-1}^{(g)})igl(t ext{Spec}(Q_{N-1}^{(g)})igr)$ under a parameter constraint, enabling explicit computation of $C_r$ and $ar{oldsymbol{ aisebox{0pt}{ aisebox{-0.2pt}{ ext}}}ar{}}igl(Q^{(l)}, P_N,uigr)$ and revealing a QCA analogue with phase-based zeta expressions. The work advances the IPS/Zeta correspondence by linking multi-particle dynamics, spectral theory, and percolation-type phenomena in both probabilistic and quantum cellular automata contexts.
Abstract
Previous studies presented zeta functions by the Konno-Sato theorem or the Fourier analysis for one-particle models, including random walks, correlated random walks, quantum walks, and open quantum random walks. Furthermore, the zeta functions for the multi-particle model with probabilistic or quantum interactions, called the interacting particle system (IPS), were also investigated. In this paper, we focus on the zeta function for a class of IPS, including the Domany-Kinzel model, which is a typical model of the probabilistic IPS in the field of statistical mechanics and mathematical biology.
