Two-time distribution for KPZ growth in one dimension
Abstract: Consider the height fluctuations H(x,t) at spatial point x and time t of one-dimensional growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) class. The spatial point process at a single time is known to converge at large time to the Airy processes (depending on the initial data). The multi-time process however is less well understood. In this talk, I will discuss the result by Johansson on the two-time problem, namely the joint distribution of (H(x,t),H(x,at)) with a>0, in the case of droplet initial data. I also show how to adapt his approach to the flat initial case. This is...
Read MoreInvariant measures of discrete interacting particle systems: Algebraic aspects
Abstract: We consider a continuous time particle system on a graph L being either Z, Z_n, a segment {1,…, n}, or Z^d, with state space Ek={0,…,k-1} for some k belonging to {infinity, 2, 3, …}. We also assume that the Markovian evolution is driven by some translation invariant local dynamics with bounded width dependence, encoded by a rate matrix T. These are standard settings, satisfied by many studied particle systems. We provide some sufficient and/or necessary conditions on the matrix T, so that this Markov process admits some simple invariant distribution, as a product...
Read MoreConstruction of geometric rough paths
Abstract: This talk is based on a joint work in progress with L. Zambotti (UPMC). First, I will give a brief introduction to the theory of rough paths focusing on the case of Hölder regularity between 1/3 and 1/2. After this, I will address the basic problem of construction of a geometric rough path over a given ɑ-Hölder path in a finite-dimensional vector space. Although this problem was already solved by Lyons and Victoir in 2007, their method relies on the axiom of choice and thus is not explicit; in exchange the proof is simpler. In an upcoming paper, we provide an explicit...
Read MoreThe KPZ fixed point
Abstract: I will describe the construction and main properties of the KPZ fixed point, which is the scaling invariant Markov process conjectured to arise as the universal scaling limit of all models in the KPZ universality class, and which contains all the fluctuation behavior seen in the class. The construction follows from an exact solution of the totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP) for arbitrary initial condition. This is joint work with K. Matetski and J. Quastel.
Read MoreA glimpse on excursion theory for the two-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field.
Resumen: Based on joint work with Juhan Aru, Titus Lupu and Wendelin Werner. Two-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) has been one of the main objects of conformal invariant probability theory in the last ten years. The GFF is the two-dimensional analogue of Brownian motion when the time set is replaced by a 2-dimensional domain. Although one cannot make sense of the GFF as a proper function, it can be seen as a “generalized function” (i.e. a Schwartz distribution). The main objective of this talk is to go through recent development in the understanding of the...
Read MoreExit-time of a self-stabilizing diffusion
Resumen: In this talk, we briefly present some Freidlin and Wentzell results then we give a Kramers’type law satisfied by the McKean-Vlasov diffusion when the confining potential is uniformly strictly convex. We briefly present two previous proofs of this result before giving a third proof which is simpler, more intuitive and less technical.
