Abstract: The 1-d KPZ universality class contains random interface growth models as well as random polymer free energies and driven diffusive systems. Various exact asymptotic distributions have been computed over the last two decades, some of them coming from random matrix theory. These are special cases of the strong coupling fixed point, which turns out to be a completely integrable Markov process: its transition probabilities are described by classical integrable PDE’s.
