Shape Fluctuations and Random Matrices

Combinatorics 2009-10-31 v2 Probability

Abstract

We study a certain random groeth model in two dimensions closely related to the one-dimensional totally asymmetric exclusion process. The results show that the shape fluctuations, appropriately scaled, converges in distribution to the Tracy-Widom largest eigenvalue distribution for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble.
