<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%" lang="EN-US">Abstract: </span><span lang="EN-US">The Box-Ball System is a cellular automaton
introduced by Takahashi and Satsuma as a discrete counterpart of the Korteweg
& de Vries (KdV) differential equation. Both systems exhibit solitons,
solitary waves that conserve shape and speed even after collision with other
solitons. A configuration is a binary function on the integers representing
boxes which may contain one ball or be empty. A carrier visits successively
boxes from left to right, picking balls from occupied boxes and depositing one
ball, if carried, at each visited empty box. Conservation of solitons suggests
that this dynamics has many spatially-ergodic invariant measures besides the
i.i.d. distribution. Building on Takahashi-Satsuma identification of solitons,
we provide a soliton decomposition of the ball configurations and show that the
dynamics reduces to a hierarchical translation of the components, finally
obtaining an explicit recipe to construct a rich family of invariant measures.
We also consider the a.s. asymptotic speed of solitons of each size. An
extended version of this abstract, references, simulations, and the slides, all
