We review a recent asymptotic weak noise approach to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for the kinetic growth of an interface in higher dimensions. The weak noise approach provides a many body picture of a growing interface in terms of a…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 1+1 dimension dynamically develops sharply connected valley structures within which the height derivative {\it is not} continuous. There are two different regimes before and after creation of the…
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)…
Stochastic motion of a point -- known as Brownian motion -- has many successful applications in science, thanks to its scale invariance and consequent universal features such as Gaussian fluctuations. In contrast, the stochastic motion of a…
A growing interface subject to noise is described by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation or, equivalently, the noisy Burgers equation. In one dimension this equation is analyzed by means of a weak noise canonical phase space approach applied…

We consider the KPZ equation in space dimension 2 driven by space-time white noise. We showed in previous work that if the noise is mollified in space on scale $\epsilon$ and its strength is scaled as $\hat\beta / \sqrt{|\log \epsilon|}$,…
The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation sets the universality class for growing and roughening of nonequilibrium surfaces without any conservation law and nonlocal effects. We argue here that the KPZ equation can be generalized by including…
We study the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation on the half-line $x \geqslant 0$ with Neumann type boundary condition. Stationary measures of the KPZ dynamics were characterized in recent work: they depend on two parameters, the boundary…

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is a stochastic partial differential equation which is ill-posed because the nonlinearity is marginally defined with respect to the roughness of the forcing noise. However, its Cole-Hopf solution,…
We introduce and study a new model consisting of a single classical random walker undergoing continuous monitoring at rate $\gamma$ on a discrete lattice. Although such a continuous measurement cannot affect physical observables, it has a…
Height fluctuations of growing surfaces can be characterized by the probability distribution of height in a spatial point at a finite time. Recently there has been spectacular progress in the studies of this quantity for the…
