[6] Fredholm determinants, exact solutions to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and integro-differential Painlevé equations
As Fredholm determinants are more and more frequent in the context of stochastic integrability, I discuss in this talk the existence of a common framework in many integrable systems where they appear. This consists in a hierarchy of equations, akin to the Zakharov-Shabat system, connecting an integro-differential extension of the Painlevé II hierarchy, the finite-time solutions of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and multi-critical fermions at finite temperature.

[5] PhD defense. Beyond the typical fluctuations: a journey to the large deviations in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang growth model
Throughout this Ph.D thesis, we will study the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) stochastic growth model in \(1+1\) dimensions and more particularly the equation which governs it. The goal of this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, it aims to review the state of the art and to provide a detailed picture of the search of exact solutions to the KPZ equation, of their properties in terms of large deviations and also of their applications to random matrix theory or stochastic calculus. Secondly, is it intended to express a certain number of open questions at the interface with integrability theory, random matrix theory and Coulomb gas theory.
This thesis is divided in three distinct parts related to (i) the exact solutions to the KPZ equation, (ii) the short-time solutions expressed by a Large Deviation Principle and the associated rate functions and (iii) the solutions at large time and their extensions to linear statistics at the edge of random matrices.
We will present the new results of this thesis including (a) a new solution to the KPZ equation at all times in a half-space, (b) a general methodology to establish at short time a Large Deviation Principle for the solutions to the KPZ equation from their representation in terms of Fredholm determinant and (c) the unification of four methods allowing to obtain at large time a Large Deviation Principle for the solution to the KPZ equation and more generally to investigate linear statistics at the soft edge of random matrices.

[4] Linear statistics and pushed Coulomb-gas at the soft edge of random matrices : four paths to large deviations
In this talk, I will consider the classical problem of linear statistics in random matrix theory. This amounts to study the distribution of the sum of a certain function of the matrix eigenvalues. Varying this function, this problem can describe fluctuations of conductance, shot noise, Renyi entropy, center of mass of interfaces, particle number…
This problem has been extensively studied for the bulk of the eigenvalues (macroscopic linear statistics) where interesting phase transitions have been unveiled but not so much at the edge of the spectrum (microscopic linear statistics) on which I will focus.
In particular, I will introduce four methods to solve this problem, show their equivalence and I will discuss the physical applications of these results (large deviations of the solution of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, existence of phase transitions with continuously varying exponent and possible experimental realization of this setup with non-intersecting Brownian interfaces).

[3] A bottom-up approach to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for interface growth : recent developments
In this talk, I will review the celebrated Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation (>3400 citations for the original paper!) and show that it describes a variety of systems through experimental observations (interface growth, chemical reaction fronts…). Starting from scratch, I will discuss the different techniques commonly used in the physics literature to study the KPZ equation (the mapping to the directed polymer, the replica method, the quantum delta Bose gas, the Fredholm determinant and its cumulant expansion) and explain how they allowed to obtain exact solutions in 1+1 dimensions. Finally, I will describe recent developments on the large fluctuations through exact short-time solutions along with recent numerical progress.
This talk is made to be accessible to non-specialists and will tackle at the same time theoretical and computational aspects of the KPZ equation.

[2] Recent short-time developments on the solutions of the KPZ equation
-> University College Dublin, April 17, 2018 (joint seminar with Pierre Le Doussal)
[1] Exact short time solutions of the KPZ equation... ...from a physicist's point of view
In the past decade, explicit solutions have been found for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. Quite remarkably, they always express the moment generating function of the Cole-Hopf solution of the KPZ equation as a Fredholm Pfaffian or Fredholm Determinant. These algebraic structures are quite common in the field of Random Matrix Theory (RMT) and Determinant Point Processes and therefore allow to draw connexions between asymptotic RMT distributions (Tracy-Widom distribution), non-interacting fermions at finite temperature in quantum mechanics and height solutions of the KPZ equation.
I will first review the techniques commonly used in the physics literature to study the KPZ equation (the replica method, the Bethe Ansatz solution of the Lieb-Liniger model) and show how it has allowed to obtain solutions for the KPZ equation. I will then focus on the Brownian initial condition and show how to extract the exact distribution of the solution of the KPZ equation from its Fredholm determinant representation at short time in terms of a Large Deviation Principle.
For this initial condition, it has been found by Janas, Kamenev and Meerson (2016) using Weak Noise Theory that the large deviation function at short time exhibits a second-order phase transition. Starting from the exact Fredholm determinant obtained by Imamura and Sasamoto (2012), I will prove this statement, provide the analytic expression of the critical field where the transition occurs and compare my predictions with the numerical estimates of Janas, Kamenev and Meerson.
