The lower tail of the half-space KPZ equation (Q2239262)

The Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation (KPZ equation) is a paradigmatic model in a class of models, known as the KPZ universality class, whose long-time limit is the KPZ fixed point. The authors describe the half-space KPZ equation in detail. The first tight bound is established on the lower tail probability of the half-space KPZ equation with Neumann boundary parameter $A =-1/2$ and narrow-wedge initial data. Given a crude leading-order asymptotic in the Stokes region for the Ablowitz-Segur solution to Painlevé II , they improve the upper bound to demonstrate the same crossover as the lower bound. They also establish novel bounds on the large deviations of the GOE (Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble) point process.
