We prove that the free energy of the log-gamma polymer between lattice points $(1,1)$ and $(M,N)$ converges to the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution in the $M^{1/3}$ scaling, provided that $N/M$ remains bounded away from zero and infinity. We…
In this article, we try to give a rather complete picture of the behavior of the free energy for a model of directed polymer in a random environment, in which the polymer is a simple symmetric random walk on the lattice $\Z^d$, and the…
This paper extends the investigation of energy distribution in finite settings, which is related to the results established in [H]. We analyze the distribution of multiplicative energies using Fourier analytical methods and random…

We consider directed random polymers in $(d+1)$ dimensions with nearly gamma i.i.d. disorder. We study the partition function $Z_{N,\omega}$ and establish exponential concentration of $\log Z_{N,\omega}$ about its mean on the subgaussian…

Loops undergoing thermal fluctuations are prevalent in nature. Ring-like or cross-linked polymers, cyclic macromolecules, and protein-mediated DNA loops all belong to this category. Stability of these molecules are generally described in…
The discrete polymer model with random Boltzmann weights with homogeneous inverse gamma distribution, introduced by Sepp\"al\"ainen, is studied in the case of a polymer with one fixed and one free end. The model with two fixed ends has been…
In the zero temperature Brownian semi-discrete directed polymer we study the joint distribution of two last-passage times at positions ordered in the time-like direction. This is the situation when we have the slow de-correlation…
The distribution function of the end-to-end distance of a semiflexible polymer, G(R;L) (where R denotes the end-to-end distance and L the contour length), is calculated using a meanfield-like approach. The theory yields an extremely simple…
It is common to study polymer physics through the use of idealized single-chain models, and the most popular of these is the freely jointed chain model. In certain thermodynamic ensembles, statistical mechanical treatment of this model is…
We compute analytically the distribution function P(E) for the energy E acquired by a Fermi gas after being subjected to an arbitrary time-dependent external potential (switching event). We relate the distribution function to a solution of…
The distribution function of the free energy fluctuations in one-dimensional directed polymers with $\delta$-correlated random potential is studied by mapping the replicated problem to a many body quantum boson system with attractive…
We present an approach to studying directed polymers in interaction with a defect line and subject to a force, which pulls them away from the line. We consider in particular the case of inhomogeneous interactions. We first give a formula…
We consider a model system in which anomalous diffusion is generated by superposition of underlying linear modes with a broad range of relaxation times. In the language of Gaussian polymers, our model corresponds to Rouse (Fourier) modes…
The probability that a randomly accelerated particle in two dimensions has not yet left a simply connected domain ${\cal A}$ after a time $t$ decays as $e^{-E_0t}$ for long times. The same quantity $E_0$ also determines the confinement free…
