An explicit Fredholm determinant formula is derived for the multipoint distribution of the height function of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with arbitrary initial condition. The method is by solving the biorthogonal ensemble/non-intersecting path representation found by [Sas05; BFPS07]. The resulting kernel involves transition probabilities of a random walk forced to hit a curve defined by the initial data. In the KPZ 1:2:3 scaling limit the formula leads in a transparent way to a Fredholm determinant formula, in terms of analogous kernels based on Brownian motion, for the transition probabilities of the scaling invariant Markov process at the centre of the KPZ universality class. The formula readily reproduces known special self-similar solutions such as the Airy$_1$ and Airy$_2$ processes. The invariant Markov process takes values in real valued functions which look locally like Brownian motion, and is H\"older $1/3-$ in time.

The directed landscape (2018, background): “The key observation for our proof is a combinatorial fact about the RSK correspondence, whose application to Brownian paths was developed in O’Connell and Yor (2002).
