Abstract : Proposed by Kardar, Parisi, and Zhang in 1986, the KPZ equation is a stochastic PDE central to describing a large class of models of random growth and beyond. Among the many interesting properties that the KPZ equation exhibits is its stochastic integrability. In this talk, I will review one way of understanding the integrability via a stochastic/quantum many-body system, the delta Bose gas. I will explain how the latter helps understand the KPZ equation, particularly its tail probabilities and limit shapes.
