Condensation in continuous stochastic mass transport models

We study the dynamics of condensation for a stochastic continuous mass transport process defined on a one-dimensional lattice. Specifically we introduce three different variations of the truncated random average process. We generalize hereby the regular truncated process by introducing a new parameter $\gamma$ and derive a rich phase diagram in the $\rho-\gamma$ plane where several new phases next to the condensate or fluid phase can be observed. Lastly we use an extreme value approach in order to describe the conditions of a condensation transition in the thermodynamic limit. This leads us to a possible explanation of the broken ergodicity property expected for truncation processes.
