A novel recurrence-transience transition and Tracy-Widom growth in a cellular automaton with quenched noise

A novel recurrence-transience transition and Tracy-Widom growth in a cellular automaton with quenched noise

We study the growing patterns formed by a deterministic cellular automaton, the rotor-router model, in the presence of quenched noise. By the detailed study of two cases, we show that: a) the boundary of the pattern displays KPZ fluctuations with a Tracy-Widom distribution, b) as one increases the amount of …
