The colored Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (ASEP) in a finite interval is a well-studied Markov chain, and it is also referred to as the biased card shuffling or the random Metropolis scan. A few years ago, a total-variation cutoff was proved for this chain using hydrodynamic techniques. In this talk, I will explain how to obtain more precise information on the cutoff, in particular, to...
