We study coupled KPZ equations with three control parameters $X,Y,T$. These equations are used in the context of stretched polymers in a random medium, for the spacetime spin-spin correlator of the isotropic quantum Heisenberg chain, and…
The quenched Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (QKPZ) equation with negative non-linear term shows a first order pinning-depinning (PD) transition as the driving force $F$ is varied. We study the substrate-tilt dependence of the dynamic transition…
The nonequilibrium steady state of the one-dimensional (1D) Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class is studied in-depth by exact solutions, yet no direct experimental evidence of its characteristic statistical properties has been…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class describes the coarse-grained behavior of a wealth of classical stochastic models. Surprisingly, it was recently conjectured to also describe spin transport in the one-dimensional quantum…
The current/height fluctuation statistics of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality in 1+1 dimensions are sensitive to the initial state. We find that the averages over the initial states exhibit universal and scale-invariant patterns when…
I characterize the extreme location and extreme first passage time of a system of $N$ particles independently diffusing in a space-time random environment. I show these extreme statistics are governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ)…
Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface depinning with quenched noise is studied in an ensemble that leads to self-organized criticality in the quenched Edwards-Wilkinson (QEW) universality class and related sandpile models. An interface is pinned at…
We obtain a criterion for pulsating front speed-up by general periodic incompressible flows in two dimensions and in the presence of KPP nonlinearities. We achieve this by showing that the ratio of the minimal front speed and the effective…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class is a paradigmatic example of universality in nonequilibrium phenomena, but clear experimental evidences of asymptotic 2D-KPZ statistics are still very rare, and far less understanding stems from its…
We elucidate the nature of universal scaling in disordered driven models. We in particularly explore the intriguing possibility of whether coupling with quenched disorders can lead to continuously varying universality classes. We examine…
We introduce a model of two coupled reaction-diffusion equations to describe the dynamics and propagation of flame fronts in random media. The model incorporates heat diffusion, its dissipation, and its production through coupling to the…
We study time-dependent density fluctuations in the stationary state of driven diffusive systems with two conserved densities $\rho_\lambda$. Using Monte-Carlo simulations of two coupled single-lane asymmetric simple exclusion processes we…
We study the diffusion-limited reaction A + A <-> A in different spatial dimensions to observe the effect of internal fluctuations on the interface between stable and unstable phases. We find that, similar to what has been observed in d=1…
The term 'KPZ' stands for the initials of three physicists, namely Kardar, Parisi and Zhang, which, in 1986 conjectured the existence of universal scaling behaviours for many random growth processes in the plane. A process is said to belong…
Fronts that start from a local perturbation and propagate into a linearly unstable state come in two classes: pulled and pushed. ``Pulled'' fronts are ``pulled along'' by the spreading of linear perturbations about the unstable state, so…
We argue that while fluctuating fronts propagating into an unstable state should be in the standard KPZ universality class when they are {\em pushed}, they should not when they are {\em pulled}: The universal $1/t$ velocity relaxation of…
We prove existence, uniqueness, and stability of transition fronts (generalized traveling waves) for reaction-diffusion equations in cylindrical domains with general inhomogeneous ignition reactions. We also show uniform convergence of…

Interfaces of phase-separated systems roughen in time due to capillary waves. Because of fluxes in the bulk, their dynamics is nonlocal in real space and is not described by the Edwards-Wilkinson or Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equations, nor…
Directed percolation (DP), a universality class of continuous phase transitions, has recently been established as a possible route to turbulence in subcritical wall-bounded flows. In canonical straight pipe or planar flows, the transition…
