| contents | We study ``V-shaped'' solutions to the KPZ equation, those having opposite asymptotic slopes $θ$ and $-θ$, with $θ>0$, at positive and negative infinity, respectively. Answering a question of Janjigian, Rassoul-Agha, and Seppäläinen, we show that the spatial increments of V-shaped solutions cannot be statistically stationary in time. This completes the classification of statistically time-stationary spatial increments for the KPZ equation by ruling out the last case left by those authors.
To show that these V-shaped time-stationary measures do not exist, we study the location of the corresponding ``viscous shock,'' which, roughly speaking, is the location of the bottom of the V. We describe the limiting rescaled fluctuations, and in particular show that the fluctuations of the shock location are not tight, for both stationary and flat initial data. We also show that if the KPZ equation is started with V-shaped initial data, then the long-time limits of the time-averaged laws of the spatial increments of the solution are mixtures of the laws of the spatial increments of $x\mapsto B(x)+θx$ and $x\mapsto B(x)-θx$, where $B$ is a standard two-sided Brownian motion. |
