Abstract

The probabilities that a growing Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interface remains above or below the mean height in the time interval are shown numerically to decay as with and . Bounds on are derived from the height autocorrelation function under the assumption of Gaussian statistics. The autocorrelation exponent for a --dimensional interface with roughness and dynamic exponents and is conjectured to be . For a recently proposed discretization of the KPZ equation we find oscillatory persistence probabilities, indicating hidden temporal correlations.
