47. The dynamical scaling form (1.7) was in 383940 proposed for the transient regime and supported by numerical simulations 91015. The form (1.7) in the stationary regime is supported analytically by the fixed point structure of dynamic renormalization group calculations. In the transient regime the universal scaling behavior has been studied by M. Krech, Phys. Rev. E 55, 668 (1997).PLEEE8

95. More precisely, the determinant can be shown to have the form 42 J=exp-(1/2)Trxt[ν∇2+λ(u∇u+∇u)] and thus contributes an additional term GJ to the action G. However, as discussed in 66676869 the term GJ=ln J precisely cancels acausal contributions in a perturbation expansion in λ, i.e., closed response loops. This also follows from a direct expansion of the Langevin equation (4.1) in powers of λ combined with successive noise contractions. Here response loops are absent due to the causal character of the unperturbed propagator (∂/∂t-ν∇2)-1. Thus with this proviso we are entitled to use the identity (4.8).

101. The connection between the Fokker-Planck description of the noisy Burgers equation 956, entailing the stationary distribution P(u), and the present path integral formulation is clearly of interest and will be pursued in another context; otherwise, we refer to 42 for a general discussion.
102. The choice of Poisson algebra is to some extent arbitrary. The present choice has been dictated by the analogy between the present “stochastic” path integral and the usual Feynman phase space integral.

108. In writing down the “quantum Hamiltonian” Ĥ we have chosen a normal ordering of the operators û and φ^ in the interaction term, i.e., we have placed the “momentum” û to the left of the “coordinate” φ^. In the present heuristic discussion of the “quantum mechanics” the ordering is, however, immaterial; otherwise see 42.
109. In writing down the Heisenberg equations of motion we have in the usual way gone from the Schrödinger picture with tine evolution operator Û(t)=exp[-i(Δ/ν)Ĥt] to the Heisenberg picture with operator time evolution û(t)=exp[+i(Δ/ν)Ĥt]û(0)exp[-i(Δ/ν)Ĥt]; note that this transformation does not require Ĥ to be Hermitian or Û(t) to be unitary.
110. We note that the Heisenberg equations of motion “drive the operators away from hermiticity” since Ĥ is non-Hermitian.
