Proof of the path localization conjecture for directed polymers

Probability 2019-09-04 v2 Mathematical Physics math.MP

Abstract

It is a well-known open problem in the literature on random polymers to show that a directed polymer in random environment localizes around a favorite path at low temperature. A precise statement of this conjecture is formulated and proved in this article.
