This monograph studies duality in interacting particle systems, a
topic combining probability theory, statistical physics, Lie algebras,
and orthogonal polynomials. It offers the first comprehensive account
of duality theory in the context of interacting particle systems.
Using a Lie algebraic framework, the book demonstrates how dualities
arise in families of systems linked to algebraic representations. The
exposition centers on three key processes: independent random walks,
the inclusion process, and the exclusion process—associated with the
Heisenberg, su(1,1), and su(2) algebras, respectively. From these
three basic cases, several new processes and their duality relations
are derived. Additional models, such as the Brownian energy process,
the KMP model and the Kac model, are also discussed, along with topics
like the hydrodynamic limit and non-equilibrium behavior. Further,
integrable systems associated to the su(1,1) algebra are studied and
their non-equilibrium steady states are computed. Intentionally
accessible and self-contained, this book is aimed at graduate-level
researchers and also serves as a comprehensive introduction to the
duality of Markov processes and beyond.
