KPZ universality class and the anchored Toom interface

Mathematical Physics 2015-06-19 v2 Statistical Mechanics math.MP Probability

Abstract

We revisit the anchored Toom interface and use KPZ scaling theory to argue that the interface fluctuations are governed by the Airy_1 process with the role of space and time interchanged. There is no free parameter. The predictions are numerically well confirmed for space-time statistics in the stationary state. In particular the spatial fluctuations of the interface are given by the GOE edge distribution of Tracy and Widom.
