| By use of [[renormalization group]] techniques it has been conjectured that the KPZ equation is the field theory of many [[surface growth]] models, such as the [[Eden growth model|Eden model]], ballistic deposition, and the SOS model. A rigorous proof has been given by Bertini and Giacomin<ref>L. Bertini and G. Giacomin, ''Stochastic Burgers and KPZ equations from particle systems'', Comm. Math. Phys., Vol. '''183''', 571-607 (1997) [http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs002200050044].</ref> in the case of the SOS model.

| Many models in the field of [[interacting particle system]]s, such as the totally [[asymmetric simple exclusion process]], also lie in the KPZ universality class. This class is characterised by models which, in one spatial dimension (1+1 dimension) have a roughness exponent α=1/2, growth exponent β=1/3 and dynamic exponent z=3/2. In order to check if a growth model is within the KPZ class, one can calculate the width of the surface, <math>W(L,t)</math>, defined as <br />
| |
| <math alt>W(L,t)=\Big\langle\frac1L\int_0^L \big( h(x,t)-\bar{h}(t)\big)^2 dx\Big\rangle^{1/2},</math> <br /> where <math alt=> \bar{h}(t) </math> is the mean surface height at time t and L is the size of the system. For models within the KPZ class, the main properties of the surface <math alt> h(x,t) </math> can be characterized by the
