The continuum Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in one dimension is lattice discretized in such a way that the drift part is divergence free. This allows to determine explicitly the stationary measures. We map the lattice KPZ equation to a bosonic field theory which has a cubic anti-hermitian nonlinearity. Thereby it is established that the stationary two-point function spreads superdiffusively.

Growth phenomena constitute an important field in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. On the one hand, they are ubiquitous in nature, on the other hand, their theoretical understanding poses a challenging problem for the methods of theoretical physics. Typically, growth processes lead to statistically scale invariant structures. For nonlocal growth, selfsimilar clusters are generated in the f...

A master equation for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation in 2+1 dimensions is developed. In the fully nonlinear regime we derive the finite time scale of the singularity formation in terms of the characteristics of forcing. The exact probability density function of the one point height field is obtained correspondingly. PACS: 05.45.-a, 68.35.Ja, 02.40.Xx.

We consider the ultra-discrete Burgers equation. All variables of the equation are discrete. We classify the equation into five regions in the parameter space. We discuss behavior of solutions. Using this equation we construct the deterministic surface growth models respectively. Furthermore we introduce noise into the ultra-discrete Burgers equation. We present the automata models of the KPZ e...

We study the diffusion-limited reaction A+A<-->A in various spatial dimensions to observe the effect of internal fluctuations on the interface between stable and unstable phases. We find that, similar to what has been observed in d = 1 dimensions, internal fluctuations modify the mean-field predictions for this process, which is given by Fisher's reaction-diffusion equation. In d>1 the front di...

Stochastic motion of a point - known as Brownian motion - has many successful applications in science, thanks to its scale invariance and consequent universal features such as Gaussian fluctuations. In contrast, the stochastic motion of a line, though it is also scale-invariant and arises in nature as various types of interface growth, is far less understood. The two major missing ingredients a...

We study the restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model with finite hopping distance l(0), using both analytical and numerical methods. Analytically, we use the hard-core bosonic field theory developed by the authors [Phys. Rev. E 62, 7642 (2000)] and derive the Villain-Lai-Das Sarma (VLD) equation for the l(0)=infinity case, which corresponds to the conserved RSOS (CRSOS) model and the Kardar-Pari...
