- ItemThe Airy1 process is not the limit of the largest eigenvalue in GOE matrix diffusion(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Bornemann, Folkmar; Ferrari, Patrik; Prähofer, MichaelUsing a systematic approach to evaluate Fredholm determinants numerically, we provide convincing evidence that the Airy1-process, arising as a limit law in stochastic surface growth, is not the limit law for the evolution of the largest eigenvalue in GOE matrix diffusion
- ItemLarge time asymptotics of growth models on space-like paths II: PNG and parallel TASEP(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Borodin, Alexei; Ferrari, Patrik; Sasamoto, TomohiroWe consider the polynuclear growth (PNG) model in 1+1 dimension with flat initial condition and no extra constraints. The joint distributions of surface height at finitely many points at a fixed time moment are given as marginals of a signed determinantal point process. The long time scaling limit of the surface height is shown to coincide with the Airy$_1$ process. This result holds more generally for the observation points located along any space-like path in the space-time plane. We also obtain the corresponding results for the discrete time TASEP (totally asymmetric simple exclusion process) with parallel update.
- ItemSlow decorrelations in KPZ growth(Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2008) Ferrari, PatrikFor stochastic growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class in $1+1$ dimensions, fluctuations grow as $t^1/3$ during time $t$ and the correlation length at a fixed time scales as $t^2/3$. In this note we discuss the scale of time correlations. For a representant of the KPZ class, the polynuclear growth model, we show that the space-time is non-trivially fibred, having slow directions with decorrelation exponent equal to $1$ instead of the usual $2/3$. These directions are the characteristic curves of the PDE associated to the surface's slope. As a consequence, previously proven results for space-like paths will hold in the whole space-time except along the slow curves.
