    Large 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, Tomohiro
    We 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.

    Transition between Airy1 and Airy2 processes and TASEP fluctuations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2007) Borodin, Alexei; Ferrari, Patrik; Sasamoto, Tomohiro
    We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, a model in the KPZ universality class. We focus on the fluctuations of particle positions starting with certain deterministic initial conditions. F or large time $t$, one has regions with constant and linearly decreasing density. The fluctuations on these two regions are given by the Airy$_1$ and Airy$_2$ processes, whose one-point distributions are the GOE and GUE Tracy-Widom distributions of random matrix theory. In this paper we analyze the transition region between these two regimes and obtain the transition process. Its one-point distribution is a new interpolati on between GOE and GUE edge distributions.
