Abstract
This article discusses the connection between a particular class of growth processes and random matrices. It first provides an overview of growth model, focusing on the TASEP (totally asymmetric simple exclusion process) with parallel updating, before explaining how random matrices appear. It then describes multi-matrix models and line ensembles, noting that for curved initial data the spatial statistics for large time t is identical to the family of largest eigenvalues in a Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE multi-matrix model. It also considers the link between the line ensemble and Brownian motion, and whether this persists on Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) matrices by comparing the line ensembles at fixed position for the flat polynuclear growth model (PNG) and at fixed time for GOE Brownian motions. Finally, it examines (directed) last passage percolation and random tiling in relation to growth models.
