We show that the multicomponent Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation describes the low-energy theory for phase fluctuations in a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ degenerate non-equilibrium driven-dissipative condensate with global $U(1)\times U(1)$ symmetry. Using…

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 consider the evolution of interfaces with a diffusive term and a generalized Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) non-linearity, which results in a propagation velocity that depends periodically on the tilt of the interface. Using large scale…

We consider the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation for a circular interface in two dimensions, unconstrained by the standard small-slopes and no-overhang approximations. Numerical simulations using an adaptive scheme allow us to elucidate…

There have been recently several works studying the regularized stochastic heat equation (SHE) and Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in dimension $d\geq 3$ as the smoothing parameter is switched off, but most of the results did not hold in…

We prove that the stochastic Burgers equation, which is related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang/KPZ equation via weak derivative, is a "critical" scaling limit for density fluctuations for a family of non-integrable and non-stationary…

Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) scaling has been observed in discrete polariton lattices, enabled by engineered band structures that stabilize the condensate. Whether this universality extends to intrinsically continuous systems with natural…

The continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in one dimension is lattice discretized in such a way that the drift part is divergence free. This allows to determine explicitly the stationary measures. We map the lattice KPZ equation to a…

We study the directed polymer (DP) of length $t$ in a random potential in dimension 1+1 in the continuum limit, with one end fixed and one end free. This maps onto the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth equation in time $t$, with flat initial…

We provide a comprehensive report on scale-invariant fluctuations of growing interfaces in liquid-crystal turbulence, for which we recently found evidence that they belong to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class for 1+1…

In this paper, we consider four integrable models of directed polymers for which the free energy is known to exhibit KPZ fluctuations. A common framework for the analysis of these models was introduced in our recent work on the…

We determine a $q\to 1$ limit of the two-dimensional $q$-Whittaker driven particle system on the torus studied previously in [Corwin-Toninelli, arXiv:1509.01605]. This has an interpretation as a $(2+1)$-dimensional stochastic interface…

The strong-coupling regime of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang surface growth driven by short-ranged noise has an upper critical dimension d_> less or equal to four (where the dynamic exponent z takes the value z (d_>) = 2). To derive this, we use the…
