Abstract

The limit distributions of the charged-polymer Hamiltonian of Kantor and Kardar [Bernoulli case] and Derrida, Griffiths and Higgs [Gaussian case] are considered. Two sources of randomness enter in the definition: a random field q=(qi)i1q= (q_i)_{i\geq 1} of i.i.d. random variables (called random charges) and a random walk S=(Sn)nNS = (S_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} evolving in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d, independent of the charges. The energy or Hamiltonian K=(Kn)n2K = (K_n)_{n \geq 2} is then defined as Kn:=1i<jnqiqj1{Si=Sj}.K_n := \sum_{1\leq i < j\leq n} q_i q_j {\bf 1}_{\{S_i=S_j\}}. The law of KK under the joint law of qq and SS is called "annealed", and the conditional law given qq is called "quenched". Recently, strong approximations under the annealed law were proved for KK. In this paper we consider the limit distributions of KK under the quenched law.
