One-dimensional stochastic growth and Gaussian ensembles of random matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 and the random matrices ensemble by an extension to the multilayer PNG and multi-matrix models, respectively. We also discuss other models which are equivalent to the PNG model: directed polymers, the longest increasing subsequence problem, Young tableaux, a directed percolation model, kink-antikink gas, and Hammersley process.

Brownian motion and random matrices
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and NSF, was devoted to β-generalizations of the classical ensembles in random matrix theory. Recent advances have put stochastic methods on center stage, thus explaining the workshop title ‘Brownian motion and random matrices’. One recalls that a viewpoint on classical random matrix theory, generalizing Dyson’s three fold way, is that physically relevant ensembl...
متن کاملComparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics
Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...

متن کاملUniversality of some models of random matrices and random processes
Many limit theorems in probability theory are universal in the sense that the limiting distribution of a sequence of random variables does not depend on the particular distribution of these random variables. This universality phenomenon motivates many theorems and conjectures in probability theory. For example the limiting distribution in the central limit theorem for the suitably normalized su...
