Cooperative Behavior in Driven Lattice Systems with Shifted Periodic Boundary Conditions

We explore the nature of driven stochastic lattice systems with non-periodic boundary conditions. The systems consist of particle and holes which move by exchanges of nearest neighbor particle-hole pairs. These exchanges are controlled by the energetics associated with an internal Hamiltonian, an ex...
