Nonequilibrium Growth problems

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss the features of nonequilibrium growth problems, their scaling description and their differences from equilibrium problems. The emphasis is on the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and the renormalization group point of view. Some of the recent developments along these lines are mentioned.
