The KPZ equation is a stochastic PDE whose derivative is supposed to provide a universal model for "hydrodynamic fluctuations". This is one version of the weak KPZ universality conjecture, which has drawn significant attention in the past few decades. We will discuss recent work on this conjecture for fluctuations of hydrodynamic limits of a general family of interacting particle systems. The key...
