We consider the fluctuations of the free energy of positive temperature directed polymers in thin rectangles (N,N^{\alpha}), \alpha < 3/14. For general weight distributions with finite fourth moment we prove that the distribution of these…
We show that the two-point function of a quantum field theory with de Sitter momentum space (herein called DSR) can be expressed as the product of a standard delta function and an energy-dependent factor. This is a highly non-trivial…
We study directed polymers subject to a quenched random potential in d transversal dimensions. This system is closely related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation of nonlinear stochastic growth. By a careful analysis of the perturbation…

We study the Cauchy directed polymer model on $\mathbb{Z}^{1+1}$, where the underlying random walk is in the domain of attraction to the $1$-stable law. We show that, if the random walk satisfies certain regularity assumptions and its…
We prove the existence of weak solutions to a system of two diffusion equations that are coupled by a pointwise volume constraint. The time evolution is given by gradient dynamics for a free energy functional. Our primary example is a model…
We prove that the free energy of the half-space log-gamma polymer $N^{2/3+\delta}$ away from the boundary in the non-attractive regime converges to the directed landscape. Based on the convergence of the full-space log-gamma free energy to…

Polymer self-consistent field theory techniques are used to derive quantum density functional theory without the use of the theorems of density functional theory. Instead, a free energy is obtained from a partition function that is…
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…
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…
The probability distribution for vacuum fluctuations of the energy flux in two dimensions will be constructed, along with the joint distribution of energy flux and energy density. Our approach will be based on previous work on probability…
A common approach to study nucleation rates is the estimation of free-energy barriers. This usually requires knowledge about the shape of the forming droplet, a task that becomes notoriously difficult in macromolecular setups starting with…
We find all factorized duality functions for a class of interacting particle systems. The functions we recover are self-duality functions for interacting particle systems such as zero-range processes, symmetric inclusion and exclusion…
A `polydisperse' system has an infinite number of conserved densities. We give a rational procedure for projecting its infinite-dimensional free energy surface onto a subspace comprising a finite number of linear combinations of densities…
For directed polymers, the shape function computes the limiting average energy accrued by paths with a given average slope. We prove that, for a large family of directed polymer models in discrete time and continuous space in dimension…
The generating functions for density matrix elements of the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity damping are analysed in terms of their eigenmodes, which are characterised by a specific temporal behaviour. These eigenmodes are shown to be…
