Abstract

We study the directed polymer model in a bounded environment in weak disorder but without L2L^2-boundedness, specifically the speed of homogenization for the field (Wn0,x)xZd(W_n^{0,x})_{x\in\mathbb Z^d}, where Wn0,xW_n^{0,x} denotes the associated martingale for the polymer starting from xx. We show that a suitably re-centered spatial average over a set of diameter n1/2n^{1/2} convergence to zero at rate nξ+o(1)n^{-\xi+o(1)}, where the exponent is an explicit function of the inverse temperature β\beta.
