TLDR
It is shown that |H| and L play the roles of inverse temperature and external magnetic field, respectively, and a first-order dynamical phase transition when L changes sign, at supercritical H is found.Abstract:
We study the short-time distribution P(H,L,t) of the two-point two-time height difference H=h(L,t)-h(0,0) of a stationary Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface in 1+1 dimension. Employing the optimal-fluctuation method, we develop an effective Landau theory for the second-order dynamical phase transition found previously for L=0 at a critical value H=H_{c}. We show that |H| and L play the roles of inverse temperature and external magnetic field, respectively. In particular, we find a first-order dynamical phase transition when L changes sign, at supercritical H. We also determine analytically P(H,L,t) in several limits away from the second-order transition. Typical fluctuations of H are Gaussian, but the distribution tails are highly asymmetric. The tails -lnP∼|H|^{3/2}/sqrt[t] and -lnP∼|H|^{5/2}/sqrt[t], previously found for L=0, are enhanced for L≠0. At very large |L| the whole height-difference distribution P(H,L,t) is time-independent and Gaussian in H, -lnP∼|H|^{2}/|L|, describing the probability of creating a ramplike height profile at t=0.read more

Large fluctuations of the KPZ equation in a half-space
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the short-time regime of the KPZ equation in 1 + 1 dimensions and developed a unifying method to obtain the height distribution in this regime, valid whenever an exact solution exists in the form of a Fredholm Pfaffian or determinant.

Geometrical optics of constrained Brownian excursion: from the KPZ scaling to dynamical phase transitions
Naftali R. Smith,Baruch Meerson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an optimal fluctuation method (OFM) was used to study atypical fluctuations of a Brownian excursion on a moving wall, where the optimal paths of the Brownian motion were described in terms of optimal rays of the motion.

Dynamic Scaling of Growing Interfaces
TL;DR: A model is proposed for the evolution of the profile of a growing interface that exhibits nontrivial relaxation patterns, and the exact dynamic scaling form obtained for a one-dimensional interface is in excellent agreement with previous numerical simulations.

Level spacing distributions and the Airy kernel
Craig A. Tracy,Harold Widom +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived analogues for the Airy kernel of the following properties of the sine kernel: the completely integrable system of P.D.E., the expression of the Fredholm determinant in terms of a Painleve transcendent, the existence of a commuting differential operator, and the fact that this operator can be used in the derivation of asymptotics, for generaln, of the probability that an interval contains preciselyn eigenvalues.

Fluctuations and Irreversible Processes
Lars Onsager,S. Machlup +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the probability of a given succession of (nonequilibrium) states of a spontaneously fluctuating thermodynamic system is calculated, on the assumption that the macroscopic variables defining a state are Gaussian random variables whose average behavior is given by the laws governing irreversible processes.
