With Kardar and Zhang, this physicist names a stochastic PDE that appears in field theories for surface growth models. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this Italian physicist who used the replica trick to solve the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model of spin glasses, for which he received part of the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physics.
ANSWER: Giorgio Parisi
[10e] Without the nonlinear term, the KPZ equation reduces to the stochastic form of this equation. This equation has the same form as the diffusion equation, but the constant measures thermal conductivity.
ANSWER: heat equation
[10h] The university class of the KPZ equation includes this interacting particle system used to model everything from traffic to ion channels. This stochastic model, known by a 5-letter acronym, only allows particles to move in one direction, and only allows one particle to occupy a site at a time.
