Abstract: We study the two-dimensional Anisotropic KPZ equation (AKPZ) formally given by �egin{equation*} partial_t H=frac12Delta H+lambda((partial_1 H)^2-(partial_2 H)^2)+xi,, end{equation*} where xi is a space-time white noise and lambda is a strictly positive constant. While the classical two-dimensional KPZ equation, whose nonlinearity is |ablaH|2=(partial1H)2+(partial2H)2, can be linearised via the Cole-Hopf transformation, this is not the case for AKPZ. We prove that the stationary solution to AKPZ (whose invariant measure is the Gaussian Free Field) is superdiffusive: its diffusion coefficient diverges for large times as sqrtlogt up to loglogt corrections, in a Tauberian sense. Morally, this says that the correlation length grows with time like t1/2imes(logt)1/4. Moreover, we show that if the process is rescaled diffusively (tot/varepsilon2,xox/varepsilon,varepsilono0), then it evolves non-trivially already on time-scales of order approximately 1/sqrt|logvarepsilon|ll1. Both claims hold as soon as the coefficient lambda of the nonlinearity is non-zero. These results are in contrast with the belief, common in the mathematics community, that the AKPZ equation is diffusive at large scales and, under simple diffusive scaling, converges the two-dimensional Stochastic Heat Equation (2dSHE) with additive noise (i.e. the case lambda=0).
