Description

Book Synopsis

Based on lectures delivered at the 2017 AMS Short Course “Random Growth Models”, held in 2017. The articles give an introduction to the most-studied models; first- and last-passage percolation, the Eden model of cell growth, and particle systems, focusing on the main research questions and leading up to the celebrated Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.

Table of Contents

  • M. Damron, Random growth models: Shape and convergence rate
  • J. Hanson, Infinite geodesics, asymptotic directions, and Busemann functions in first-passage percolation
  • P. Sosoe, Fluctuations in first-passage percolation
  • F. Rassoul-Agha, Busemann functions, geodesics, and the competition interface for directed last-passage percolation
  • T. Seppalainen, The corner growth model with exponential weights
  • I. Corwin, Exactly solving the KPZ equation
  • Index.
