Competition between homogeneous and local processes in a diffusive many-body system

We consider a stochastic many-body system where a source refills uniformly the empty sites of a hypercubic lattice, on which each particle is allowed to jump (symmetrically) onto neighboring vacant sites. In addition, there is a local trap, in competition with the injection reaction, which perturbs the dynamics by removing particles from the system. In dimensions d=1, 2 and 3, for an ``imperfect'' and a ``perfect'' trap, the spatiotemporal effect of the local perturbation of the dynamics is investigated by computing the exact concentration of particles in the system and it is shown that the density profile exhibits a depletion (in one and two dimensions) which properties depend on the space dimension. The exact reactive (fluctuating) steady state and the long-time behavior of the concentration of particles are explicitly computed.
