Abstract

In this paper in terms of the replica method we consider the high temperature limit of (2+1) directed polymers in a random potential and propose an approach which allows to compute the scaling exponent θ\theta of the free energy fluctuations as well as the left tail of its probability distribution function. It is argued that θ=1/2\theta = 1/2 which is different from the zero-temperature numerical value which is close to 0.241. This result implies that unlike the (1+1)(1+1) system in the two-dimensional case the free energy scaling exponent is non-universal being temperature dependent.
