Abstract

We provide the first tight bounds on the lower tail probability of the one point distribution of the KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial data. Our bounds hold for all sufficiently large times TT and demonstrates a crossover between super-exponential decay with exponent 5/25/2 (and leading pre-factor 415πT1/3\frac{4}{15\pi} T^{1/3}) for tail depth greater than T2/3T^{2/3}, and exponent 33 (with leading pre-factor 112\frac{1}{12}) for tail depth less than T2/3T^{2/3}.
