In this talk, we will study the Freidlin–Wentzell LDP for the KPZ equation using the variational principle. Such an approach goes under the name of the weak noise theory in physics. We will explain how to extract various limits of the most probable shape of the KPZ equation in the setting of the Freidlin–Wentzell LDP. Some future directions will also be discussed at the end. The talk is based on several joint works with Pierre Yves Gaudreau Lamarre and Li-Cheng Tsai.
