Fluctuations of the one-dimensional polynuclear growth model with external sources
نویسنده
چکیده
The one-dimensional polynuclear growth model with external sources at edges is studied. The height fluctuation at the origin is known to be given by either the Gaussian, the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution, or certain distributions called GOE2 and F0, depending on the strength of the sources. We generalize these results and show that the scaling limit of the multi-point equal time height fluctuations of the model are described by the Fredholm determinant, of which the limiting kernel is explicitly obtained. In particular we obtain two new kernels, describing transitions between the above one-point distributions. One expresses the transition from the GOE2 to the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution or to the Gaussian; the other the transition from F0 to the Gaussian. The results specialized to the fluctuation at the origin are shown to be equivalent to the previously obtained ones via the RiemannHilbert method. [

Fluctuations of a one-dimensional polynuclear growth model in a half space
We consider the multi-point equal time height fluctuations of a one-dimensional polynuclear growth model in a half space. For special values of the nucleation rate at the origin, the multi-layer version of the model is reduced to a determinantal process, for which the asymptotics can be analyzed. In the scaling limit, the fluctuations near the origin are shown to be equivalent to those of the l...
متن کاملPolynuclear growth model, GOE and random matrix with deterministic source
We present a random matrix interpretation of the distribution functions which have appeared in the study of the one-dimensional polynuclear growth (PNG) model with external sources. It is shown that the distribution, GOE2, which is defined as the square of the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution, can be obtained as the scaled largest eigenvalue distribution of a special case of a random matrix model w...
متن کاملLimiting distributions for a polynuclear growth model with external sources
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the limiting distribution functions for a polynuclear growth model with two external sources, which was considered by Prähofer and Spohn in [13]. Depending on the strength of the sources, the limiting distribution functions are either the Tracy-Widom functions of random matrix theory, or a new explicit function which has the special property that its ...
متن کاملFluctuations of the one-dimensional asymmetric exclusion process using random matrix techniques
The studies of fluctuations of the one-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class using the techniques from random matrix theory are reviewed from the point of view of the asymmetric simple exclusion process. We explain the basics of random matrix techniques, the connections to the polynuclear growth models and a method using the Green’s function.
متن کاملOne-dimensional stochastic growth and Gaussian ensembles of random matrices
In this review paper we consider the polynuclear growth (PNG) model in one spatial dimension and its relation to random matrix ensembles. For curved and flat growth the scaling functions of the surface fluctuations coincide with limit distribution functions coming from certain Gaussian ensembles of random matrices. This connection can be explained via point processes associated to the PNG model...
