The 1+1 dimensional corner growth model with exponential weights is a centrally important exactly solvable model in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang class of statistical mechanical models. While significant progress has been made on the fluctuations…
We generalize the exactly solvable corner growth models by choosing the rate of the exponential distribution $a_i+b_j$ and the parameter of the geometric distribution $a_i b_j$ at site $(i, j)$, where $(a_i)_{i \ge 1}$ and $(b_j)_{j \ge 1}$…
We study a class of corner growth models in which the weights are either all exponentially or all geometrically distributed. The parameter of the distribution at site $(i, j)$ is $a_i+b_j$ in the exponential case and $a_ib_j$ in the…
We study the directed last-passage percolation model on the planar square lattice with nearest-neighbor steps and general i.i.d. weights on the vertices, outside of the class of exactly solvable models. Stationary cocycles are constructed…
We study moderate deviations in the exponential corner growth model, both in the bulk setting and the increment-stationary setting. The main results are sharp right-tail bounds on the last-passage time and the exit point of the…

We propose conditions for the emergence of Turing patterns in a domain that changes in size by homogeneous growth/shrinkage. These conditions to determine the bifurcation are based on considering the geometric change of a potential function…
We show that extremal dynamics is very well modelled by the "Linear Fractional Stable Motion" (LFSM), a stochastic process entirely defined by two exponents that take into account spatio-temporal correlations in the distribution of active…
This paper defines two new extrinsic curvature quantities on the corner of a four-dimensional Riemannian manifold with corner. One of these is a pointwise conformal invariant, and the conformal transformation of the other is governed by a…
We show that the Busemann process indexed by tilts in the super-differential of the limit shape exists and is unique in the strong sense in the i.i.d.\ planar corner growth model. This means that every probability space that supports the…
