Abstract

We study the problem of the condensate (stochastic average) origination for an auxiliary field in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation and its matrix generalization. We cannot reliably conclude that there is a condensate for the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation in the framework of the one-loop approximation improved by the renormalization group method. The matrix generalization of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation permits a positive answer to the question of whether there is a nonzero condensate, and the problem can be solved exactly in the large-N limit.
