The universality of the directed polymer model and the analogous KPZ equation is supported by numerical simulations using non-Gaussian random probability distributions in two, three and four dimensions. It is shown that although in the…
One-dimensional interacting particle systems, 1+1 random growth models, and two-dimensional directed polymers define 2d height fields. The KPZ universality conjecture posits that an appropriately scaled height function converges to a…
In a recent work [Phys. Rev. E 109, L042102 (2024)], interesting dimensional crossovers [from two- to one-dimensional (2D to 1D) scaling] were found in the growth of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) interfaces on rectangular substrates, with…
We prove that two half-space models in the KPZ universality class, exponential last-passage percolation and a family of Poisson-avoiding metrics generalizing colored TASEP, converge to a common scaling limit. This scaling limit is the…

We study a restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model involving deposition and evaporation with probabilities p and 1-p, respectively, in one-dimensional substrates. It presents a crossover from Edwards-Wilkinson (EW) to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang…
Motivated by the recent exact solution of the {\it stationary-state} Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) statistics by Imamura & Sasamoto (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 108}, 190603 (2012)), as well as a precursor experimental signature unearthed by Takeuchi…
Two-dimensional (2D) KPZ growth is usually investigated on substrates of lateral sizes $L_x=L_y$, so that $L_x$ and the correlation length ($\xi$) are the only relevant lengths determining the scaling behavior. However, in cylindrical…
In last passage percolation models lying in the KPZ universality class, long maximizing paths have a typical deviation from the linear interpolation of their endpoints governed by the two-thirds power of the interpolating distance. This…
Equilibrium and nonequilibrium states of matter can exhibit fundamentally different behavior. A key example is the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class in two spatial dimensions (2D KPZ), where microscopic deviations from equilibrium give…
By measuring or calculating coalescence times for several models of coalescence or evolution, with and without selection, we show that the ratios of these coalescence times become universal in the large size limit and we identify a few…
Consider a deterministically growing surface of any dimension, where the growth at a point is an arbitrary nonlinear function of the heights at that point and its neighboring points. Assuming that this nonlinear function is monotone,…
We simulated a growth model in 1+1 dimensions in which particles are aggregated according to the rules of ballistic deposition with probability p or according to the rules of random deposition with surface relaxation (Family model) with…
We study the Directed Polymer model subject to a particular form of disorder, $\eta(x,t)=\eta_X(x) \eta_T(t)$, recently proposed in biological applications. We find that two new universality classes arise, depending on the the lattice…
We prove universality of Tracy-Widom GUE fluctuations for directed polymers in $1+1$ dimensions in the intermediate disorder regime. Building on the Lindeberg replacement method of arXiv:2304.04871, we refine estimates for the measure of…

Drag reduction by polymers is bounded between two universal asymptotes, the von-K\'arm\'an log-law of the law and the Maximum Drag Reduction (MDR) asymptote. It is theoretically understood why the MDR asymptote is universal, independent of…
