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=…
Let $\{X_n;n\ge 1\}$ be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables on a sub-linear expectation space $(\Omega,\mathscr{H},\widehat{\mathbb E})$, $S_n=X_1+\ldots+X_n$. We consider the moments of $\max_{n\ge…
We study an undirected polymer chain living on the 1-dimensional integer lattice and carrying i.i.d.\ random charges. Each self-intersection of the polymer contributes to the Hamiltonian an energy that is equal to the product of the charges…
The scaling behavior of a directed polymer in a two-dimensional (2D) random potential under confining force is investigated. The energy of a polymer with configuration $\{y(x)\}$ is given by $H\big(\{y(x)\}\big) = \sum_{x=1}^N \exyx +…

It is well-known that the semi-circle law, which is the limiting distribution in the Wigner theorem, is the minimizer of the logarithmic energy penalized by the second moment. A very similar fact holds for the Girko and Marchenko--Pastur…
It is argued that logarithmic factors multiplying power law behavior are to be expected at or near non-mean field critical points of systems with short-range interactions described theoretically by any kind of n -> 0 limit, in which the…
The purpose of this paper is to study a one-dimensional polymer penalized by its range and placed in a random environment $\omega$. The law of the simple symmetric random walk up to time $n$ is modified by the exponential of the sum of…
In this paper, we consider four integrable models of directed polymers for which the free energy is known to exhibit KPZ fluctuations. A common framework for the analysis of these models was introduced in our recent work on the…
We study a (1+1)-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment on the integer lattice with log-gamma distributed weights. Among directed polymers, this model is special in the same way as the last-passage percolation model with…
The electric polarizability and logarithmic mean-excitation energy are calculated for the deuteron using techniques introduced in atomic physics. These results are then used to improve limits on the atomic-deuterium frequency shift due to…
This paper describes directed polymer on general time-correlated random field. Law of large numbers, existence and smoothness of limiting free energies are proved at all temperature. We also display the delocalized-localized transition, via…
We analyze almost sure asymptotic behavior of extreme values of a regenerative process. We show that under certain conditions a properly centered and normalized running maximum of a regenerative process satisfies a law of the iterated…
Random walks with a disordered self-interaction potential may be used to model charged polymers. In this paper we consider a one-dimensional and directed version of the charged polymer model that was introduced by Derrida, Griffiths and…
The objective of the present paper is to establish exponential large deviation inequalities, and to use them to show exponential concentration inequalities for the free energy of a polymer in general random environment, its rate of…
We study the energy structure and the transfer of an extra electron or hole along periodic polymers made of $N$ monomers, with a repetition unit made of $P$ monomers, using a Tight-Binding wire model, where a site is a monomer (e.g., in…
