Zero tension Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in \((d+1)\)-dimensions (Q2501511)

The joint probability distribution function (PDF) of the height and its gradients is derived for a zero tension \(d + 1\)-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. It is proved that the height's PDF of zero tension KPZ equation shows lack of positivity after a finite time \(t_c\). The properties of zero tension KPZ equation and its differences with the case that it possess an infinitesimal surface tension is discussed. Also potential relation between the time scale \(t_c\) and the singularity time scale \(t_{c,\nu\to 0}\) of the KPZ equation with an infinitesimal surface tension is investigated.
