title: Exact nonstationary probabilities in the asymmetric exclusion process on a ring.
abstract: The complete solution of the master equation for a system of interacting particles of finite density is presented. By using a new form of the Bethe ansatz, the totally asymmetric exclusion process on a ring is solved for arbitrary initial conditions and time intervals.
