Dear Colleagues, We would like to invite you to the following Probability seminar that will take place on June 05 at 11 by the zoom platform. ________________________________________________________ Speaker: Giuseppe Cannizzaro (University of Warwick) Title: A new Universality Class in (1+1)-dimensions: the Brownian Castle 05 JUNE (Friday) - 11:00 - zoom link: TBA The link and password to access the seminar will be available at the following webpage https://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/seminari/ Abstract: In the context of randomly fluctuating interfaces in (1+1)-dimensions two Universality Classes have generally been considered, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang and the Edwards-Wilkinson. Models within these classes exhibit universal fluctuations under 1:2:3 and 1:2:4 scaling respectively. Starting from a modification of the classical Ballistic Deposition model we will show that this picture is not exhaustive and another Universality Class, whose scaling exponents are 1:1:2, has to be taken into account. We will describe how it arises, briefly discuss its connections to KPZ and introduce a new stochastic process, the Brownian Castle, deeply connected to the Brownian Web, which should capture the large-scale behaviour of models within this Class. This talk is based on a joint ongoing work with Martin Hairer. -- Alessandra Bianchi Dip. di Matematica Università di Padova Via Trieste, 63 - 35121 Padova, Italy phone: +39 049 827 14 06 fax: +39 049 827 14 28 e-mail: bianchi@math.unipd.it http://www.math.unipd.it/~bianchi/
