Abstract

The joint statistical properties of two free energies computed at two different temperatures in {\it the same sample} of (1+1)(1+1) directed polymers is studied in terms of the replica technique. The scaling dependence of the reduced free energies difference F=F(T1)/T1F(T2)/T2{\cal F} = F(T_{1})/T_{1} - F(T_{2})/T_{2} on the two temperatures T1T_{1} and T2T_{2} is derived. In particular, it is shown that if the two temperatures T1<T2T_{1} \, < \, T_{2} are close to each other the typical value of the fluctuating part of the reduced free energies difference F{\cal F} is proportional to (1T1/T2)1/3(1 - T_{1}/T_{2})^{1/3}. It is also shown that the left tail asymptotics of this free energy difference probability distribution function coincides with the corresponding tail of the TW distribution.
