Exact scaling functions for one-dimensional stationary KPZ growth
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the stationary two-point correlation function of the onedimensional KPZ equation through the scaling limit of a solvable microscopic model, the polynuclear growth model. The equivalence to a directed polymer problem with specific boundary conditions allows one to express the corresponding scaling function in terms of the solution to a Riemann-Hilbert problem related to the Painlevé II equation. We solve these equations numerically with very high precision and compare our, up to numerical rounding exact, result with the prediction of Colaiori and Moore [1] obtained from the mode coupling approximation.

Universal fluctuation of the average height in the early - time regime of one - dimensional Kardar – Parisi – Zhang - type growth
The statistics of the average height fluctuation of the onedimensional Kardar–Parisi–Zhang (KPZ)-type surface is investigated. Guided by the idea of local stationarity, we derive the scaling form of the characteristic function in the early-time regime, t N3/2 with t time and N the system size, from the known characteristic function in the stationary state (t N3/2) of the single-step model deriv...

متن کاملScaling of ballistic deposition from a Langevin equation.
An exact lattice Langevin equation is derived for the ballistic deposition model of surface growth. The continuum limit of this equation is dominated by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation at all length and time scales. For a one-dimensional substrate the solution of the exact lattice Langevin equation yields the KPZ scaling exponents without any extrapolation. For a two-dimensional substrat...
متن کاملUniversal aspects of curved, flat, and stationary-state Kardar-Parisi-Zhang statistics.
Motivated by the recent exact solution of the stationary-state Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) statistics by Imamura and Sasamoto [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 108 190603 (2012)], as well as a precursor experimental signature unearthed by Takeuchi [ Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 210604 (2013)], we establish here the universality of these phenomena, examining scaling behaviors of directed polymers in a random medium, the...
متن کاملExact Spectral Gaps of the Asymmetric Exclusion Process with Open Boundaries
We derive the Bethe ansatz equations describing the complete spectrum of the transition matrix of the partially asymmetric exclusion process with the most general open boundary conditions. By analysing these equations in detail for the cases of totally asymmetric and symmetric diffusion, we calculate the finite-size scaling of the spectral gap, which characterizes the approach to stationarity a...
