Abstract

An overview of recent studies of nonequilibrium bound interfaces is given. Attention is focused on Kardar-Parisi-Zhang interfaces in the presence of upper and lower walls, interacting via short-- and long--ranged potentials. A comparison with equilibrium interfaces is carried out, and connections with other nonequilbrium systems are illustrated. Experimental realizations of the phenomenology described in this article are briefly discussed.
