Extreme Statistics and Spacing Distribution in a Brownian Gas Correlated by Resetting

Phys Rev Lett. 2023 May 19;130(20):207101. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.130.207101.

ABSTRACT

We study a one-dimensional gas of N Brownian particles that diffuse independently, but are simultaneously reset to the origin at a constant rate r. The system approaches a nonequilibrium stationary state with long-range interactions induced by the simultaneous resetting. Despite the presence of strong correlations, we show that several observables can be computed exactly, which include the global average density, the distribution of the position of the kth rightmost particle, and the spacing distribution between two successive particles. Our analytical results are confirmed by numerical simulations. We also discuss a possible experimental realization of this resetting gas using optical traps.
