Large time asymptotics of growth models on space-like paths. II: PNG and parallel TASEP (Q2517950)

The authors study the long time behavior of the joint height distributions at several points of the polynuclear growth (PNG) model in \(1+1\) dimensions. Considering a flat surface at the initial time and nucleations occurring with translation-invariant intensity they show that the long time scaling limit of the surface height coincides with the Airy\(_1\) process. The corresponding analysis is also performed for the discrete time TASEP (totally asymmetric simple exclusion process) with parallel update. For Part I, see the first two authors, Electron. J. Probab. 13, 1380--1418, electronic only (2008; Zbl 1187.82084).
