We investigate non-equilibrium fluctuations of a solid surface governed by the stochastic Mullins-Herring equation with conserved noise. This equation describes surface diffusion of adatoms accompanied by their exchange between the surface…
We study one-dimensional fluctuating interfaces of length $L$ where the interface stochastically resets to a fixed initial profile at a constant rate $r$. For finite $r$ in the limit $L \to \infty$, the system settles into a nonequilibrium…
We introduce the generalized spatial discretization of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 dimensions. We solve exactly the steady state probability density function for the discrete heights of the interface, for any…
We study a model of random surfaces arising in the dimer model on the honeycomb lattice. For a fixed ``wire frame'' boundary condition, as the lattice spacing $\epsilon\to0$, Cohn, Kenyon and Propp [CKP] showed the almost sure convergence…
We investigate the behavior of discrete interface growth models belonging to the Edwards--Wilkinson (EW) and Kardar--Parisi--Zhang (KPZ) universality classes, when defined on a complete graph, a topology commonly used to probe the…
We evaluate the fifth order normalized cumulant, known as hyperskewness, of height fluctuations dictated by the $(1+1)$-dimensional KPZ equation for the stochastic growth of a surface on a flat geometry in the stationary state. We follow a…
The power spectrum of interface fluctuations in the $(1+1)$-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class is studied both experimentally and numerically. The $1/f^\alpha$-type spectrum is found and characterized through a set of…
A fluctuating interfacial profile in one dimension is studied via Langevin simulations of the Edwards-Wilkinson equation with non-conserved noise and the Mullins-Herring equation with conserved noise. The profile is subject to either…
We study the distribution and scaling of the extreme height fluctuations for Edwards-Wilkinson-type relaxation on small-world substrates. When random links are added to a one-dimensional lattice, the average size of the fluctuations becomes…
Local roughness distributions (LRDs) are studied in the growth regimes of lattice models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions and in a model of the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLDS) growth class in 2+1 dimensions. The…
We investigate the stationary-state fluctuations of a growing one-dimensional interface described by the KPZ dynamics with a noise featuring smooth spatial correlations of characteristic range $\xi$. We employ Non-perturbative Functional…
The effect of geometry in the statistics of \textit{nonlinear} universality classes for interface growth has been widely investigated in recent years and it is well known to yield a split of them into subclasses. In this work, we…
We study a stochastic PDE model for an evolving set $\mathbb{M}(t)\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{\mathrm{d}+1}$ that resembles a continuum version of origin-excited or reinforced random walk. We show that long-time fluctuations of an associated…
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…
We study the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation in one dimension with a noise variance $c(t)$ depending on time. We find that for $c(t)\propto t^{-\alpha}$ there is a transition at $\alpha=1/2$. When $\alpha>1/2$, the solution…

A nonperturbative weak noise scheme is applied to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for a growing interface in all dimensions. It is shown that the growth morphology can be interpreted in terms of a dynamically evolving texture of localized…
