We study maximal length collections of disjoint paths, or 'disjoint optimizers', in the directed landscape. We show that disjoint optimizers always exist, and that their lengths can be used to construct an extended directed landscape. The…

Study of the KPZ universality class has seen the emergence of universal objects over the past decade which arise as the scaling limit of the member models. One such object is the directed landscape, and it is known that exactly solvable…

We obtain uniform asymptotics for deformed Airy kernel determinants, which arise in models of finite temperature free fermions and which characterize the narrow wedge solution of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation. The asymptotics for the…

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation is conjectured to universally describe the fluctuations of weakly asymmetric interface growth. Here we provide the first intrinsic well-posedness result for the KPZ equation on the real line by showing…

The periodic KPZ fixed point is the conjectural universal limit of the KPZ universality class models on a ring when both the period and time critically tend to infinity. For the case of the periodic narrow wedge initial condition, we…

It is believed that for metric-like models in the KPZ class the following property holds: with probability one, starting from any point, there are at most two semi-infinite geodesics with the same direction that do not coalesce. Until now,…

The KPZ fixed point is a universal limiting space-time random field for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. While the joint law of the KPZ fixed point at a fixed time has been studied extensively, the multipoint distributions of the…

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…

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) fixed point is a Markov process that is conjectured to be at the core of the KPZ universality class. In this article we study two aspects the KPZ fixed point that share the same Brownian limiting behaviour: the…

We study the spatial decorrelation of the solution to the KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial data. For fixed $t>0$, we determine the decay rate of the spatial covariance function, showing that ${\rm Cov}[h(t,x),h(t,0)]\sim \frac{t}{x}$…

We consider the KPZ equation in one space dimension with narrow wedge initial condition, $h(x,t=0)=- |x|/\delta$, $\delta\ll 1$. Based on previous results for the weakly asymmetric simple exclusion process with step initial conditions, we…

We show that the spatial increments of the KPZ fixed point starting from arbitrary initial data, exhibit strong quantitative comparison against rate two Brownian motion on compacts. The above estimates are uniform in the initial data…

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…
