Abstract:
The height fluctuations of the models in the KPZ class are expected to converge to a universal process. The spatial process at equal time is known to converge to the Airy process or its variations. However, the temporal process, or more generally the two-dimensional space-time fluctuation field, is less well understood. We consider this question for the periodic TASEP (totally asymmetric simple exclusion process). We first evaluate the multi-point and multi-location distribution explicitly in terms of a multiple integral involving a Fredholm determinant. We then evaluate the large time limit in the so-called relaxation time scale for some "well-behaved" initial conditions. This is joint work with Jinho Baik.
