We consider two models for directed polymers in space-time independent random media (the O'Connell-Yor semi-discrete directed polymer and the continuum directed random polymer) at positive temperature and prove their KPZ universality via…
We consider a space-time continuous directed polymer in random environment. The path is Brownian and the medium is Poissonian. We review many results obtained in the last decade, and also we present new ones. In this fundamental setup, we…
In this paper, we study a model of a Brownian polymer in $\mathbb {R}_+\times \mathbb {R}^d$, introduced by Rovira and Tindel [J. Funct. Anal. 222 (2005) 178--201]. Our investigation focuses mainly on the effect of strong spatial…
We study a particular generalisation of the classical Kramers model describing Brownian particles in the external potential. The generalised model includes the stochastic force which is modelled as an additive random noise that depends upon…
We discuss variational formulas for the limits of certain models of motion in a random medium: namely, the limiting time constant for last-passage percolation and the limiting free energy for directed polymers. The results are valid for…
We prove a central limit theorem for the momentum distribution of a particle undergoing an unbiased spatially periodic random forcing at exponentially distributed times without friction. The start is a linear Boltzmann equation for the…
We consider field theory formulation for directed polymers and interfaces in the presence of quenched disorder. We write a series representation for the averaged free energy, where all the integer moments of the partition function of the…
By means of rather general arguments, based on an approach due to Derrida that makes use of samples of finite size, we analyse the effective diffusivity and drift tensors in certain types of random medium in which the motion of 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…
We consider the model of Directed Polymers in an i.i.d. gaussian or bounded Environment in the $L^2$ region. We prove the convergence of the law of the environment seen by the particle. As a main technical step, we establish a lower tail…
Based on a recently established formalism (U. Ebert, J. Stat. Phys. 82, 183 (1996)) we analyze the diffusive motion of a long polymer in a quenched random medium. The medium is modeled by a frozen semidilute polymer system. In the framework…
For a Brownian directed polymer in a Gaussian random environment, with $q(t,\cdot)$ denoting the quenched endpoint density and \[ Q_n(t,x_1,\ldots,x_n)=\mathbf{E}[q(t,x_1)\ldots q(t,x_n)], \] we derive a hierarchical PDE system satisfied by…
We study the long-range directed polymer model on $\mathbbm{Z}$ in a random environment, where the underlying random walk lies in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable process for some $\alpha\in(0,2]$. Similar to the more classic…
Periodic one dimensional hopping model is useful to study the motion of microscopic particles, which lie in thermal noise environment. The mean velocity $V_N$ and diffusion constant $D_N$ of this model have been obtained by Bernard Derrida…
We consider a class of branching-selection particle systems on $\R$ similar to the one considered by E. Brunet and B. Derrida in their 1997 paper "Shift in the velocity of a front due to a cutoff". Based on numerical simulations and…
In this note we give upper bounds for the free energy of discrete polymers in random media. The bounds are given by the so-called generalized multiplicative cascades from the statistical theory of turbulence. For the polymer model, we…
A directed polymer is allowed to branch, with configurations determined by global energy optimization and disorder. A finite size scaling analysis in 2D shows that, if disorder makes branching more and more favorable, a critical transition…
We use a generalization of Hoeffding's inequality to show concentration results for the free energy of disordered pinning models, assuming only that the disorder has a finite exponential moment. We also prove some concentration inequalities…
The transition from a weak-disorder (diffusive phase) to a strong-disorder (localized phase) for directed polymers in a random environment is a well studied phenomenon. In the most common setup, it is established that the phase transition…
In this article, we consider two models of directed polymers in random environment: a discrete model and a continuous model. We consider these models in dimension greater or equal to 3 and we suppose that the normalized partition function…
