We determine the full phase diagram of the system as a function of $\\rho$ and the dimension $d$. In addition to the weak-coupling part of the diagram, which agrees with the results from Refs. [Europhys. Lett. 47, 14 (1999), Eur. Phys. J. B 9, 491 (1999)], we find the two fixed points describing the short-range (SR) and long-range (LR) dominated strong-coupling phases. In contrast with a suggestion in the references cited above, we show that, for all values of $\\rho$, there exists a unique strong-coupling SR fixed point that can be continuously followed as a function of $d$. We show in particular that the existence and the behavior of the LR fixed point do not provide any hint for 4 being the upper critical dimension of the KPZ equation with SR noise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2014-02-10T17:57:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "64.60.Ht", "05.10.Cc", "68.35.Ct", "68.35.Rh" ], "keywords": [ "spatially correlated noise", "kardar-parisi-zhang equation", "unified picture", "strong-coupling sr fixed point", "nonperturbative renormalization group approach" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2014, "month": "Feb", "volume": 89, "number": 2, "pages": "022108" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1273477, "adsabs": "2014PhRvE..89b2108K" } } }
