Talk at 4:30 p.m. in Science Center A

Tea at 4:00 p.m. in the Math Lounge


 
 

Abstract: We review recent experimental work on stochastically growing interfaces and compare these results with the recent theoretical developments for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and the closely related asymmetric simple exclusion process. The emphasis in this talk will be on the underlying results in the asymmetric simple exclusion process.
