Abstract
We introduce seven families of stochastic systems of interacting particles in one-dimension corresponding to the seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems. We prove that they are determinantal in the sense that all spatio-temporal correlation functions are given by determinants controlled by a single function called the spatio-temporal correlation kernel. For the four families , , and , we identify the systems of stochastic differential equations solved by these determinantal processes, which will be regarded as the elliptic extensions of the Dyson model. Here we use the notion of martingales in probability theory and the elliptic determinant evaluations of the Macdonald denominators of irreducible reduced affine root systems given by Rosengren and Schlosser.

1 Introduction and main results
Stochastic analysis on interacting particle systems is important to provide useful models describing equilibrium and non-equilibrium phenomena studied in statistical physics [15]. Determinantal process is a stochastic system of interacting particles which is integrable in the sense that all spatio-temporal correlation functions are given by determinants controlled by a single function called the spatio-temporal correlation kernel [4, 20]. Since the generating functions of correlation functions are generally given by the Laplace transforms of probability densities, the stochastic integrability of determinantal processes is proved by showing that the Laplace transform of any multi-time joint probability density is expressed by the spatio-temporal Fredholm determinant associated with the correlation kernel. The purpose of this paper is to present new kinds of determinantal processes in which the interactions between particles are described by the logarithmic derivatives of Jacobi’s theta functions. A classical example of determinantal processes is Dyson’s Brownian motion model with parameter , which is a dynamical version of the eigenvalue statistics of random matrices in the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE), and we call it simply the Dyson model [6, 15, 38]. We will extend the Dyson model to the elliptic-function-level in this paper. We use the notion of martingales in probability theory [14, 15] and the elliptic determinantal evaluations of the Macdonald denominators of seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems given by Rosengren and Schlosser [34] (see also [26, 42]).
Among the seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems, , , and , we reported the results only for the system in the previous papers [16, 17] as follows. Assume , , , and let
[TABLE]
where denotes one of the Jacobi theta functions. See Appendix A for the Jacobi theta functions and related functions. For , we define the Weyl chamber
[TABLE]
We introduced a one-parameter () family of systems of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) for [17]
[TABLE]
for , where , , are independent one-dimensional standard Brownian motions, and
[TABLE]
We called this family of -particle systems on , {\bf X}^{{A}_{N-1}}(t)=\big{(}X^{{A}_{N-1}}_{1}(t),\dots,X^{{A}_{N-1}}_{N}(t)\big{)}, , the elliptic Dyson model of type A with parameter . By (A.9) in Appendix A.2, (1.2) gives
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
which give equidistant-spacing configurations {\bf v}^{{A}_{N-1}}=\big{(}v^{{A}_{N-1}}_{1},\dots,v^{{A}_{N-1}}_{N}\big{)}. This implies that the elliptic Dyson model of type A is realized as a system of interacting Brownian bridges (see, for instance, [5, Part I, Section IV.4.22]) pinned at the configuration at time [17]. When the system of SDEs is temporally homogeneous, it is well known that the corresponding Kolmogorov (Fokker–Planck) equation for transition probability density can be transformed into a Calogero–Moser–Sutherland quantum system (see, for instance, [8, Chapter 11]). The present system of interacting Brownian bridges is temporally inhomogeneous, however, and the Kolmogorov equation is mapped into a Schrödinger-type equation with time-dependent Hamiltonian and the time-dependent ground energy [17]. The obtained quantum system is elliptic, but different from the elliptic Calogero–Moser–Sutherland model extensively studied as a quantum integrable system [7, 25, 31, 39, 40]. We found at the same time that the interaction among particles vanishes when the parameter is chosen to be a special value ( in our case) as found in the usual Calogero–Moser–Sutherland models. We applied the determinantal-martingale-method [14] and proved that the elliptic Dyson model of type A with is an integrable stochastic process in a sense that it is determinantal for a set of observables [16, 17].
In the present paper, we report the results for other six systems, , . Here we first construct the six families of determinantal processes (Theorem 1.1). Then for the three families , and , we clarify the systems of SDEs (with parameter ) which are solved by our new determinantal processes (Theorem 1.2).

We call (1.5)–(1.7) the determinantal martingale-functions [14] (see Sections 2.2 and 2.5).
In the interval , we consider the -particle system of one-dimensional standard Brownian motions , started at with either an absorbing or reflecting boundary condition at the endpoints of the interval, [math] and . The transition probability density of each particle is generally denoted by . The boundary conditions at 0 and are indicated by and , respectively, and the transition probability density with the specified boundary conditions , is written as . In this paper the absorbing (resp. reflecting) boundary condition is abbreviated as ‘a’ (resp. ‘r’). By the reflection principle of Brownian motion (see, for instance, [5, Appendixes 1.5 and 1.6]), if both boundaries are absorbing, the transition probability density is given by
[TABLE]
and if both are reflecting, it is given by
[TABLE]

We write the probability law of such a system of boundary-conditioned Brownian motions in as . In , put

That is, the Radon–Nikodym derivative of with respect to the Wiener measure of Brownian motion is given by at each time . Therefore, a stochastic process with particles governed by is well-defined as a realization of non-intersecting paths which are absolutely continuous to the -particle paths of independent Brownian motions in .
For , denotes the delta measure such that if and otherwise. The first theorem of this paper is the following.
Theorem 1.1**.**
Assume that , . For each , , , , defined by (1.15) gives a probability measure and defines a measure-valued stochastic process
[TABLE]
The process \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{R}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}_{{\bf u}}^{{R}}\big{)} is determinantal with the spatio-temporal correlation kernel
[TABLE]

[TABLE]
. Here are given by (1.3) with (1.4), and , for are given by (1.9).
The second theorem of this paper is the following.
Theorem 1.2**.**
Let , , . Assume . In the interval , for \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{B}_{N}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}^{{B}_{N}}_{{\bf u}}\big{)} we put an absorbing boundary condition at [math] and a reflecting boundary condition at , for \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{C}_{N}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}^{{C}_{N}}_{{\bf u}}\big{)} we put an absorbing boundary condition both at [math] and , and for \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{D}_{N}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}^{{D}_{N}}_{{\bf u}}\big{)} we put a reflecting boundary condition both at [math] and , respectively. If we set , then {\bf X}^{{R}}(t)=\big{(}X^{{R}}_{1}(t),\dots,X^{{R}}_{N}(t)\big{)}, , solve the following systems of SDEs
[TABLE]
where , , are independent one-dimensional standard Brownian motions.
We call the systems (1.22)–(1.24) the elliptic Dyson models of types B, C, D, respectively. By (A.9) in Appendix A.2, we see that in
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
The above implies that the elliptic Dyson models of types B, C, and D are realized as the systems of interacting Brownian bridges pinned at the configurations {\bf v}^{{R}}=\big{(}v^{{R}}_{1},\dots,v^{{R}}_{N}\big{)}, , at time . Note that , ; , ; , , corresponding to the situation such that the absorbing boundary condition is imposed at 0 for , and at 0 and for , while the reflecting boundary condition is imposed at other endpoints of the interval .
We see
[TABLE]
by (1.1) and (A.4). Hence in the limit , the systems of SDEs (1.2) with , and of (1.22)–(1.24) become the following temporally homogeneous systems of SDEs for :
[TABLE]
respectively. We will call the above systems (1.25)–(1.28) the trigonometric Dyson models of types A, B, C and D, respectively.
Moreover, for
[TABLE]
the limit of the systems (1.25)–(1.28) are given as follows, for
[TABLE]
That is, the system (1.25) is reduced to (1.29), (1.26) and (1.27) are degenerated to (1.30), and (1.28) to (1.31). The system (1.29) is the original Dyson model (Dyson’s Brownian motion model with parameter ) [6, 15]. The SDEs (1.30) and (1.31) are known as the system of noncolliding absorbing Brownian motions (or the Dyson model of type C) and the system of noncolliding reflecting Brownian motions (or the Dyson model of type D), respectively. See [2, 18, 19, 23, 24, 28, 41].
The correlation kernel for a determinantal process is in general a function of two points on the spatio-temporal plane, say, and . In the present formula (1.17) in Theorem 1.1, the dependence of the correlation kernel on one spatio-temporal point is explicitly given by the transition probability density of a single Brownian motion in an interval with given boundary conditions. The dependence of on another spatio-temporal point is described by the following two procedures. The information of interaction among particles and initial configuration is expressed by a set of entire functions \big{\{}\Phi^{{R}}_{{\bf u},u_{j}}(z)\big{\}}_{j=1}^{N}, (1.19)–(1.21), which are static functions without time-variable . Then evolution in time is given by the integral transformation (1.18) specified by the transition probability density with time duration of a single Brownian motion. One of the benefits of such separation of static information and dynamics in the formula is that we can trace a relaxation process to equilibrium, which is a typical non-equilibrium phenomenon, for any initial configuration in [14]. In order to demonstrate this fact, in Section 5 we will take the temporally homogeneous limit to make the systems have equilibrium processes and study the relaxation to equilibria for the trigonometric Dysom models of types C and D. Another possible benefit of the present formula for spatio-temporal correlation kernels is that the infinite particle systems will be studied if we can control the set of entire functions \big{\{}\Phi^{{R}}_{{\bf u},u_{j}}(z)\big{\}}_{j=1}^{N} in the infinite-particle limit . For the original Dyson model [22] and other related systems [21, 23], we have applied the Hadamard theorem on the Weierstrass canonical product-formulas of entire functions [27] to analyze the infinite particle systems. In the present case with (1.19)–(1.21), we have to treat the rations of infinite products of the Jacobi theta functions in this limit . Asymptotic analysis with will be an interesting future problem.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we explain the relationship between determinantal martingales and determinantal processes used in this paper, and determinantal equalities (Lemma 2.4) obtained from the elliptic determinant evaluations of the Macdonald denominators given by Rosengren and Schlosser [34]. There we explain how to derive the determinantal martingale-functions (1.5)–(1.7), which define the interacting systems of Brownian motions by (1.15). Proofs of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2 are given in Sections 3 and 4, respectively. We study the temporally homogeneous limit in Section 5, and relaxation processes to equilibria are clarified for the trigonometric Dyson models of types C and D. Concluding remarks and open problems are given in Section 6. Notations and formulas of the Jacobi theta functions and related functions are listed in Appendix A.
2 Determinantal martingales and determinantal equalities
2.1 Notion of martingale
Martingales are the stochastic processes preserving their mean values and thus they represent fluctuations. A typical example of martingale is the one-dimensional standard Brownian motion as explained below. Let , denote the position of the standard Brownian motion in starting from the origin 0 at time . The transition probability density from the position to in time duration is given by (1.13). Let be the Borel set on . Then for an arbitrary time sequence , , and for any , ,
[TABLE]
with . The collection of all paths is denoted by and there is a subset such that and for any realization of path , , is a real continuous function of . In other words, , has a continuous path almost surely (a.s. for short). For each , we write the smallest -field (completely additive class of events) generated by the Brownian motion up to time as . We have a nondecreasing family such that for , which we call a filtration, and put . The triplet is called the probability space for the one-dimensional standard Brownian motion, and is especially called the Wiener measure. The expectation with respect to the probability law is written as . When we see as a function of , it is nothing but the probability density of the normal distribution with mean and variance , and hence it is easy to verify that
[TABLE]
which means that , is a martingale. We see, however, , , are not martingales, since the generating function of , , , with parameter is calculated as
[TABLE]
Now we assume that , is a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion which is independent of , , and its probability space is denoted by \big{(}\widetilde{\Omega},\widetilde{{\cal F}},\widetilde{{\rm P}}\big{)}. Then we introduce a complex-valued martingale called the complex Brownian motion
[TABLE]
with . The probability space of , is given by the product space and we write the expectation as . For the complex Brownian motion, by the independence of its real and imaginary parts, we see that
[TABLE]
which implies that for any , , is a martingale. This observation will be generalized as the following stronger statement; if is an entire and non-constant function, then , is a time change of a complex Brownian motion (see, for instance, [33, Theorem 2.5 in Section V.2]). Hence , is a martingale:
[TABLE]
If we take the expectation with respect to of the both sides of the above equality, we have
[TABLE]
In this way we can obtain a martingale , with respect to the filtration of the one-dimensional Brownian motion. The present argument implies that if we have proper entire functions, then we will obtain useful martingales describing intrinsic fluctuations involved in interacting particle systems.
2.2 Basic equalities and determinantal martingales
Let , , be an infinite series of linearly independent entire functions, where the index set is or . For , we assume
[TABLE]
We then define a set of distinct entire and non-constant functions of by
[TABLE]
By definition, it is easy to verify that
[TABLE]
It should be noted that given (2.1), , satisfying (2.3) can be regarded as the Lagrange interpolation functions [10, 11, 12]. We can prove the following lemmas.
Lemma 2.1**.**
Let . The functions (2.2) have the following expansions
[TABLE]
and the coefficients , satisfy the relations
[TABLE]
In particular, if is an element of ,
[TABLE]
Proof.
Consider an matrix
[TABLE]
and write its determinant as . The minor determinant is defined as the determinant of the matrix, , which is obtained from by deleting the -th row and the -th column, . Then the determinant in the numerator of (2.2) is expanded along the -th column and we obtain (2.4) with
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
which proves (2.5), for the summation in the r.h.s. is the expansion of along the -th row. It is immediate to conclude (2.6) from (2.5), if both of and are elements of . ∎
Then we obtain the following equalities.
Lemma 2.2**.**
For ,
[TABLE] 2.
For , the equality
[TABLE]
holds.
Proof.
(i) Multiply the both sides of (2.6) by and take summation over . Then use (2.4) to obtain (2.8). (ii) Consider equations by putting , in (2.8). Then calculate the determinant to prove the determinantal equality (2.9). ∎
We consider pairs of independent copies , , of , , and define independent complex Brownian motions
[TABLE]
each of which starts from . The probability law and expectation of them are given by and , respectively. Then for each complex Brownian motion , , , we have distinct time-changes of complex Brownian motions, , , , started from the real values, 0 or 1; , . Therefore, we can conclude that, if we take expectation , we will obtain distinct martingales
[TABLE]
for each one-dimensional Brownian motion , , , where
[TABLE]
By this definition, , . Then we define a multivariate function of and by
[TABLE]
which gives a martingale as a functional of and , ,
[TABLE]
By the multi-linearity of determinant and (2.9), we see
[TABLE]
We call , , the determinantal martingale [14].
2.3 Auxiliary measure and spatio-temporal Fredholm determinant
Now we introduce an auxiliary measure , which is complex-valued in general, but is absolutely continuous to the Wiener measure as
[TABLE]
(Note that this is generally different from given by (1.15), since the condition is omitted, and hence it is not the measure representing any noncolliding particles.) Here we consider the corresponding auxiliary system of particles on governed by
[TABLE]
starting from (2.1) and each particle of which has a continuous path a.s. We consider the unlabeled configuration of as
[TABLE]
Consider an arbitrary number and an arbitrary set of strictly increasing times , . Let be the set of all continuous real-valued functions with compact supports on . For , we consider the following functional of
[TABLE]
which is the Laplace transform of the multi-time distribution function on a set of times with the functions . If we put
[TABLE]
then (2.15) can be written as
[TABLE]
Explicit expression of (2.16) is given by the following multiple integrals
[TABLE]
where , , {\bf x}^{(m)}=\big{(}x^{(m)}_{1},\dots,x^{(m)}_{N}\big{)}, and , .
The following was proved as Theorem 1.3 in [14].
Proposition 2.3**.**
Put
[TABLE]
, . Then the following equality holds for an arbitrary number , an arbitrary set of strictly increasing times , , and ,
[TABLE]
where the r.h.s. denotes the spatio-temporal Fredholm determinant with the kernel defined by
[TABLE]
where , , and the term with , in the r.h.s. should be interpreted as .
This proposition is general and it proves that the auxiliary system (2.14) is determinantal. The measure (2.13) which governs this particle system is, however, complex-valued in general, and hence the system is unphysical. The problem is to clarify the proper conditions which should be added to (2.13) to construct a non-negative-definite real measure, i.e., the probability measure, which defines a physical system of interacting particles. As a matter of course, this problem depends on the choice of an infinite set of linearly independent entire functions , .
2.4 Elliptic determinant evaluations of the Macdonald denominators
Here we report the results when we choose the entire functions , as follows
[TABLE]
, , with , , and with , where
[TABLE]
and are given by (1.4). These functions (2.18) were used to express the determinant evaluations by Rosengren and Schlosser [34] for the Macdonald denominators for seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems . Note that, if , , and , then for and for .
Assume that, for , is factorized in the form
[TABLE]
where is a constant, is a single variable function, is an antisymmetric function of two variables, , and is a symmetric function of which cannot be factorized as . For , we replace the -th component by a variable and write the obtained vector as . Under the assumption (2.20), defined by (2.2) is also factorized as
[TABLE]
Then the determinantal equality (2.9) becomes
[TABLE]
In [34] Rosengren and Schlosser gave the elliptic determinant evaluations of the Macdonald denominators of seven families of irreducible reduced affine root systems, , , , , , and . From their determinantal equalities [34, Proposition 6.1], it is easy to verify that our seven choices of , given by (2.18) allow the factorization (2.20) for their determinants. As functions of , we write
[TABLE]
Lemma 2.4**.**
For the seven choices of , , , given by (2.18), the equality
[TABLE]
holds with the following factors,
[TABLE]
2.5 Determinantal martingale-functions
Since , given by (2.18) are entire and non-constant functions of ,
[TABLE]
give the single-variable martingale-functions such that, if , , are finite, then they give martingales with respect to the filtration of one-dimensional Brownian motion , ,
[TABLE]
We have found that ’s are expressed using by shifting
[TABLE]
with (1.4) and multiplying time-dependent factors. With , we put (1.3).
Lemma 2.5**.**
For , given by (2.18), we obtain the following infinite series of linearly independent martingale-functions
[TABLE]
where , are given by (2.19).
Proof.
By (2.18), it is enough to calculate
[TABLE]
with a constant . By the definition (A.1) of , this is equal to
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
we can see that (2.29) is equal to
[TABLE]
Therefore, if we set , (2.28) are obtained. ∎
We call the multivariate function of defined by (2.11) the determinantal martingale-function, since if it is finite, it gives the determinantal martingale when we put the -dimensional Brownian motion , into . The following is proved.
Proposition 2.6**.**
For , given by (2.18), the determinantal martingale-functions are factorized as follows
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
and for , are given by (1.8). For , , (2.30) are written as (1.5)–(1.7) with (1.8) and (1.9).
Proof.
By the second equality of (2.12) and Lemma 2.5,
[TABLE]
where the multi-linearity of determinant was used in the second equality. Then applying Lemma 2.4, we obtain (2.30) with
[TABLE]
By (2.25) and the summation formulas
[TABLE]
we obtain the expressions (1.8) using the Dedekind modular function (1.10), since with (2.23). Thus we can derive readily the expressions (1.5)–(1.7) with (1.8) and (1.9) from (2.30). ∎
3 Proof of Theorem 1.1
Assume . By (A.3), we see that if , 0\leq k_{1}^{{R}}\big{(}x;\tau^{{R}}(t)\big{)}<\infty for ; if , 0\leq k_{1}^{{R}}\big{(}x;\tau^{{R}}(t)\big{)}<\infty for ; and . We also see that if
[TABLE]
then 0<\prod\limits_{1\leq j<k\leq N}k_{2}^{{R}}\big{(}x_{k},x_{j};\tau^{{R}}(t)\big{)}<\infty. The inequality means that is greater than both of and its reflection at [math], and means that is smaller than both of and its reflection at . The above observation implies that if , then
[TABLE]
Due to the Karlin–McGregor–Lindström–Gessel–Viennot (KMLGV) formula [9, 13, 29] for non-intersecting paths, the transition probability density of the particle system in governed by the probability law defined by (1.15) is given by
[TABLE]
Since we consider the measure-valued stochastic process (1.16), the configuration is unlabeled and hence all the observables at each time should be symmetric functions of particle positions. For an arbitrary number and an arbitrary strictly increasing series of times , let , , be symmetric functions of . Then (1.15) and (3.2) give
[TABLE]
By definition of determinant, the above is equal to
[TABLE]
where denotes the collection of all permutations of indices , , , , and , . Here we used the fact that ’s and are symmetric functions of . By the definition of and the fact that
[TABLE]
this is equal to
[TABLE]
Therefore, we obtain the equality
[TABLE]
that is, the noncolliding condition, , can be omitted in (3.3). The expression (3.4) is interpreted as the expectation of the product of symmetric functions with respect to the signed measure
[TABLE]
which is a modification of (2.13) obtained by replacing by and by . Then we can apply Proposition 2.3, where we replace by and use the proper martingale functions given by (1.18) with (1.19)–(1.21). Thus the proof is completed.
4 Proof of Theorem 1.2
Theorem 1.2 is concluded from the following key lemma.
Lemma 4.1**.**
The transition probability densities , and given by (3.2) for , and solve the following backward Kolmogorov equations
[TABLE]
for , , under the conditions
[TABLE]
Proof.
For given and , put

where is a -function which will be specified later, and given by (1.11) for , given by (1.12) for . Since is the transition probability density of a boundary-conditioned Brownian motion, it solves the diffusion equation
[TABLE]
with . The KMLGV determinant (4.6) is the summation of products of ’s, and hence
[TABLE]
is satisfied. It is easy to verify that
[TABLE]
Therefore, the following equation holds
[TABLE]
Since
[TABLE]
the above equation is written as
[TABLE]
Now we put
[TABLE]
for , and
[TABLE]
for , where , , are -functions of , which will be determined later, and , . We define for and , and for . We put for convention. By (1.1) with (A.7), we see that
[TABLE]
, and if we multiply (4.11) by and take summation over for , they give the drift terms in (4.1)–(4.3). Therefore, if we can choose so that the equation
[TABLE]
holds, then the r.h.s. of (4.8) vanishes and we can conclude that given in the form (4.5) with (4.9) and (4.10) solve the Kolmogorov equations (4.1)–(4.3).
From (4.9) and (4.10) with (1.3), we find that
[TABLE]
where . If we use the equation (A.2), then the above is written as
[TABLE]
where . From (4.11), we find that
[TABLE]
and hence
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
By definition (1.1),
[TABLE]
Hence
[TABLE]
where we have used the fact
[TABLE]
concluded from (A.7). Then (4.12) holds, if
[TABLE]
Now we use the following expressions for and its spatial derivative [16, 17]
[TABLE]
Here is given by (A.10) and we put
[TABLE]
where the Weierstrass function and zeta function are defined by (A.14) in Appendix A.5. Applying (4.15) to (4.13) gives
[TABLE]
Using (4.15) and (4.17), the l.h.s. of (4.14) can be written using and . Moreover, from the functional equation (A.15) given in Appendix A.5, we can derive the following equalities
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Since , we have
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
Using the above formulas and the values of given by (1.4), we can show that (4.14) is reduced to the following simple equations
[TABLE]
They give the conditions for so that (4.12) holds. Since (A.11) gives for
[TABLE]
we find that
[TABLE]
with constants , . By (4.7), the conditions (4.4) determine the constants.
In conclusion, under the condition (4.4),
[TABLE]
solves (4.1),
[TABLE]
solves (4.2), and
[TABLE]
solves (4.3). The proof is thus completed. ∎
Now we prove Theorem 1.2.
Proof.
It is obvious that the backward Kolmogorov equations (4.1)–(4.3) correspond to the systems of SDEs (1.22)–(1.24), respectively [15, 33]. Due to the behavior (A.8) of , we can show that [15, 33] particles in following (1.22) do not arrive at 0, and those following (1.23) do not arrive at 0 nor with probability one, and thus we do not need to impose any boundary condition at these endpoints of for these systems of SDEs. Hence the proof is completed. ∎
5 Relaxation to equilibrium processes
in trigonometric Dyson models of types C and D
As a corollary of Theorems 1.1 and 1.2, we obtain the following trigonometric determinantal processes by taking the temporally homogeneous limit .
Corollary 5.1**.**
Assume that . Then the trigonometric Dyson models of types C and D given by (1.27) and (1.28), respectively, are determinantal with the spatio-temporal correlation kernels
[TABLE]
, where
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
We find that in the limit , the equality (2.24) with and gives
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
By Lemma 2.1, we see that (5.2) can be expanded as
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
We note that the transition probability densities (1.11) and (1.12) are written as (A.12) and (A.13), respectively. Hence we have
[TABLE]
Now we show relaxation processes to equilibria, which are typical non-equilibrium phenomena.
Proposition 5.2**.**
For any initial configuration , the trigonometric Dyson models of types C and D exhibit relaxation to the equilibrium processes. The equilibrium processes are determinantal with the correlation kernels
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
respectively.
Proof.
Here we prove the convergence of correlation kernels. It implies the convergence of the generating functions of spatio-temporal correlation functions (i.e., the Laplace transformations of multi-time joint probability densities). Hence the convergence of process is concluded in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions [22]. Assume and let
[TABLE]
It is easy to verify that
[TABLE]
and thus
[TABLE]
Then we have
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where (5.5) and (5.6) were used. For any fixed , it is obvious that
[TABLE]
uniformly on any subset of , since the summations of are taken for , while those of are taken for in (5.9) and (5.10). Hence
[TABLE]
in the same sense. It is easy to confirm that the limit kernels are represented by (5.7) and (5.8), if we use (5.6). The limit kernels (5.7) and (5.8) depend on time difference , which implies that the determinantal processes defined by them are temporally homogeneous. The determinantal processes with the spatio-temporal correlation kernels (5.7) and (5.8) are equilibrium processes, which are reversible with respect to the determinantal point processes with the spatial correlation kernels
[TABLE]
, respectively. The convergence of processes is irreversible. Thus all statements of the present proposition have been proved. ∎
We note that
[TABLE]
and hence
[TABLE]
as required.
6 Concluding remarks and open problems
In the previous paper [16, 17] and in this paper (Theorem 1.1), we have introduced seven families of interacting particle systems , governed by the probability laws associated with the irreducible reduced affine root systems denoted by , . When we proved that they are determinantal processes, we showed that without change of expectations of symmetric functions of \big{\{}X^{{R}}_{j}(\cdot)\big{\}}_{j=1}^{N}, can be replaced by the signed measures . Define \widehat{{\cal F}}^{{R}}_{t}=\sigma\big{(}\widehat{\Xi}^{{R}}(s)\colon 0\leq s\leq t\big{)}, . As the simplest corollary of this fact, we can conclude that at any time ,
[TABLE]
This is nothing but a rather trivial statement such that the processes \big{(}\widehat{\Xi}^{{R}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})} are well-normalized, but it provides nontrivial multiple-integral equalities including parameters and . For example, for , we will have
[TABLE]
where is the Dedekind modular function (1.10) and .
In the previous papers [16, 17] and in Theorem 1.2 we have identified the systems of SDEs which are solved by the four families of determinantal processes, \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{A}_{N-1}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}^{{A}_{N-1}}_{{\bf u}}\big{)}, , and \big{(}\big{(}\Xi^{{R}}(t)\big{)}_{t\in[0,t_{\ast})},\mathbb{P}^{{R}}_{{\bf u}}\big{)}, with and . The systems of SDEs for other cases are not yet clarified. The exceptional cases of reduced irreducible affine root systems and the non-reduced irreducible affine root systems [30] will be studied from the view point of the present stochastic analysis.
The classical Dyson models of type A in given by (1.29) and of types C and D in given by (1.30) and (1.31) are realized as the eigenvalue processes of Hermitian-matrix-valued Brownian motions with specified symmetry [6, 18]. It will be an interesting problem to construct the matrix-valued Brownian motions such that the eigenvalue processes of them provide the elliptic Dyson models; (1.2) with and (1.22)–(1.24).
As shown in Section 4, the factors represented by the Dedekind modular function (1.10) in the determinantal martingale-functions (1.5)–(1.7) are essential in the proof of Theorem 1.2. We have noted that given by (1.4) is identified with the quantity g given for the reduced irreducible affine root systems in [30, Appendix 1]. Interpretation of the formulas (1.8) from the view point of representation theory is desired.
As mentioned after Theorem 1.2 in Section 1, if we take the temporally homogeneous limit , the elliptic Dyson models of types A, B, C, and D become the corresponding trigonometric Dyson models, and in the further limit , they are reduced to the Dyson models in , in with an absorbing boundary condition at the origin, and in with a reflecting boundary condition at the origin, respectively. In the limit , and given by (1.11) and (1.12) become
[TABLE]
and in the double limit , , and given by (1.19)–(1.21) become
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
Then the spatio-temporal correlation kernels (1.17) are reduced to the following
[TABLE]
. Consider the -dimensional Bessel processes BES*(D)* in , whose transition probability densities are expressed using the modified Bessel function with [15, 33]. In particular, we find that
[TABLE]
, . If we put
[TABLE]
the following equalities are established
[TABLE]
. The functions (6.2) and (6.3) are the spatio-temporal correlation kernels of the -particle systems of BES*(3)* and BES*(1)* with noncolliding condition (see [14, Section 7]). It is easy to verify that the spatio-temporal Fredholm determinant (2.17) is invariant under the transformation of kernel
[TABLE]
with an arbitrary continuous function . Then (6.4) implies that the elliptic Dyson models of types C and D given by Theorem 1.2 are deduced to the noncolliding BES*(3)* and BES*(1)* in the double limit , , respectively. In other words, the present elliptic Dyson models of types C and D can be regarded as the elliptic extensions of the noncolliding BES*(3)* and BES*(1), respectively. Trigonometric and elliptic extensions of noncolliding BES(D)* with general [14, 23] will be studied. Moreover, infinite-particle limits of the elliptic determinantal processes should be studied [16, 17, 22].
Connection between the present elliptic determinantal processes and probabilistic discrete models with elliptic weights [1, 3, 35, 36, 37] will be also an interesting future problem.
