We study the short-time behavior of the probability distribution $\mathcal{P}(H,t)$ of the surface height $h(x=0,t)=H$ in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in $1+1$ dimension. The process starts from a stationary interface: $h(x,t=0)$…

We consider the relaxation (noise-free) statistics of the one-point height $H=h(x=0,t)$ where $h(x,t)$ is the evolving height of a one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interface, starting from a Brownian (random) initial condition. We…

We study the spatial decorrelation of the solution to the KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial data. For fixed $t>0$, we determine the decay rate of the spatial covariance function, showing that ${\rm Cov}[h(t,x),h(t,0)]\sim \frac{t}{x}$…
