Article Abstract
We report on the first exact solution of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in one dimension, with an initial condition which physically corresponds to the motion of a macroscopically curved height profile. The solution provides a determinantal formula for the probability distribution function of the height h(x,t) for all t>0. In particular, we show that for large t, on the scale t(1/3), the statistics is given by the Tracy-Widom distribution, known already from the Gaussian unitary ensemble of random matrix theory. Our solution confirms that the KPZ equation describes the interface motion in the regime of weak driving force. Within this regime the KPZ equation details how the long time asymptotics is approached.

We study the equilibrium fluctuations of an interacting particle system evolving on the discrete ring with points, denoted by , and with three species of particles that we name , and , but such that at each site there is only one particle. We prove that proper choices of density fluctuation fields (that match those from nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics theory) associated to the (two) conserved quantities converge, in the limit , to a system of stochastic partial differential equations, that can either be the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck equation or the Stochastic Burgers equation. To understand the cross interaction between the two conserved quantities, we derive a general version of the Riemann-Lebesgue lemma which is of independent interest.

We examine anew the relationship of directed polymers in random media on traditional hypercubic versus hierarchical lattices, with the goal of understanding the dimensionality dependence of the essential scaling index β at the heart of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. A seemingly accurate, but entirely empirical, ansatz due to Perlsman and Schwartz, proposed many years ago, can be put in proper context by anchoring the connection between these distinct lattice types at vanishing dimensionality. We graft together complementary perturbative field-theoretic and nonperturbative real-space renormalization group tools to establish the necessary connection, thereby elucidating the central mystery underlying the ansatz's uncanny apparent success, but also revealing its intrinsic limitations.

A new scaling regime characterized by a z=1 dynamical critical exponent has been reported in several numerical simulations of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and noisy Burgers equations. In these works, this scaling, differing from the well-known KPZ one z=3/2, was found to emerge in the tensionless limit for the interface and in the inviscid limit for the fluid. Based on functional renormalization group, the origin of this scaling has been elucidated.

We consider the one-dimensional deterministic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in the regime of phase turbulence, where the order parameter displays a defect-free chaotic phase dynamics, which maps to the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, characterized by negative viscosity and a modulational instability at linear level. In this regime, the dynamical behavior of the large wavelength modes is captured by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class, determining their universal scaling and their statistical properties. These modes exhibit the characteristic KPZ superdiffusive scaling with the dynamical critical exponent z=3/2.
