Abstract
We study a class of nonequilibrium lattice models on a ring where particles hop in a particular direction, from a site to one of its (say, right) nearest neighbors, with a rate that depends on the occupation of all the neighboring sites within a range R. This finite-range process (FRP) for R=0 reduces to the well-known zero-range process (ZRP), giving rise to a factorized steady state (FSS) for any arbitrary hop rate. We show that, provided the hop rates satisfy a specific condition, the steady state of FRP can be written as a product of a cluster-weight function of (R+1) occupation variables. We show that, for a large class of cluster-weight functions, the cluster-factorized steady state admits a finite dimensional transfer-matrix formulation, which helps in calculating the spatial correlation functions and subsystem mass distributions exactly. We also discuss a criterion for which the FRP undergoes a condensation transition.
