Logarithmic superdiffusivity of the 2-dimensional anisotropic KPZ equation
Résumé
We study an anisotropic variant of the two-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, that is relevant to describe growth of vicinal surfaces and has Gaussian, logarithmically rough, stationary states. While the folklore belief (based on one-loop Renormalization Group) is that the equation has the same scaling behaviour as the (linear) Edwards-Wilkinson equation, we prove that, on the contrary, the non-linearity induces the emergence of a logarithmic super-diffusivity. This phenomenon is similar in flavour to the super-diffusivity for two-dimensional fluids and driven particle systems.
