Abstract
The goal of this paper is to provide a combinatorial expression for the steady state probabilities of the two-species PASEP. In this model, there are two species of particles, one and one light, on a one-dimensional finite lattice with open boundaries. Both particles can swap places with adjacent holes to the right and left at rates 1 and $q$. Moreover, when the heavy and light particles are adjacent to each other, they can swap places as if the light particle were a hole. Additionally, the heavy particle can hop in and out at the boundary of the lattice. Our main result is a combinatorial interpretation for the stationary distribution at $q=0$ in terms of certain multi-Catalan tableaux. We provide an explicit determinantal formula for the steady state probabilities, as well as some general enumerative results for this case. We also describe a Markov process on these tableaux that projects to the two-species PASEP, and thus directly explains the connection between the two. Finally, we give a conjecture that extends our formula for the stationary distribution to the $q=1$ case, using certain two-species alternative tableau.
