KPZ-type extremal fluctuations have recently been proved for several models of random walks in space-time random environments (RWRE) in $1+1$ dimensions. A general moment criterion predicts the spatial scale at which this behavior should occur, but does not by itself guarantee non-trivial fluctuations at that scale. In this paper, we show that the averaging process provides an instance in which this criterion is not sharp: because of a degeneracy in the update mechanism, the actual KPZ limit appears only beyond the predicted scale. The relevant critical contribution arises from the interplay of two distinct fluctuation mechanisms, a phenomenon that appears to be rather special within the RWRE setting. Our proof builds on Dobrushin-type local-time limit theorems for zero-sum additive functionals, refined estimates for tilted $k$-point motions, and the recent moment-based axiomatic characterization of Cole--Hopf solutions to the one-dimensional KPZ equation. We also identify the behavior on the two sides of the critical scale, thereby sharply separating the subcritical, critical, and supercritical regimes of the model.
Conditional mutual information (CMI) probes spatial non-Markovianity and plays a central role in a recently developed framework for defining mixed-state phases based on local reversibility. This framework sharply distinguishes exponentially decaying from algebraically decaying CMI, since the latter obstructs equivalenc...
While the solution to the $1+1$ dimensional stochastic heat equation with multiplicative noise is closely related to the exponential of a Brownian motion, the two-dimensional picture exhibits an additional weak-to-strong disorder transition. In [CSZ'23], the critical two-dimensional stochastic heat flow (SHF) was const...
We study conditional fluctuations of smooth mean-field systems on a torus with endogenous symmetric stable common jumps of index $0<\alpha<1$. A positive-strip estimate makes empirical Poisson acceptance errors negligible at the sampling scale. The conditional laws given the full Poisson master converge in probability...
We study linear and symmetric diffusion processes on $\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$ that can be seen as the Langevin dynamics of the (inhomogeneous) harmonic crystal for given conductances, with a particular focus on their stationary distributions. Despite the linearity of the interaction, we exhibit a rich variety of beh...

We develop a quantitative framework for the long-time behavior of McKean--Vlasov stochastic differential equations with singular coefficients and possible phase transitions. The framework separates the existence of invariant measures from their uniqueness. For existence, we introduce a generalized Lyapunov condition wi...
We prove the existence of a non-trivial continuous stationary reversible dynamics on the directed landscape as a subsequential scaling limit of Brownian last passage percolation under the Ornstein--Uhlenbeck dynamics. Strong passage-time stability estimates from the companion paper Bhatia'26, together with static endpo...
