INTERFACIAL KINETIC ROUGHENING WITH CORRELATED NOISE

Using an alternative scheme to generate correlated noise, we have reex amined issues of stochastic growth and directed polymer wandering subj ect to spatially correlated disorder. Our findings explicitly confirm relevant exponent equalities associated with the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang e quation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 889 (1986)], thereby establishing import ant universal aspects. In addition, we show that the basin of attracti on of the short-ranged fixed point function certainly extends to corre lations falling inversely with separation, as previously conjectured.
