We obtain polylogarithmic bounds in the polynomial Szemer\'{e}di theorem when the polynomials have distinct degrees and zero constant terms. Specifically, let $P_1, \dots, P_m \in \mathbb Z[y]$ be polynomials with distinct degrees, each…

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 +…

On the 1+2 dimensional lattice, we consider a directed polymer in a random Gaussian environment that is independent in time and correlated in space. The spatial correlation is supposed to decay as $(\log |x|)^a /|x|^{2}$, $a>-1$, where the…

The local time of random walks associated with Gegenbauer polynomials $P_n^{(\alpha)}(x),\ x\in [-1,1]$ is studied in the recurrent case: $\alpha\in\ [-\frac{1}{2},0]$. When $\alpha$ is nonzero, the limit distribution is given in terms of a…
