We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particular site 0. We assume that probability of an excursion of…
Consider directed polymers in a random environment on the complete graph of size $N$. This model can be formulated as a product of i.i.d. $N\times N$ random matrices and its large time asymptotics is captured by Lyapunov exponents and the…
We have studied how 2- and 3- dimensional systems made up of particles interacting with finite range, repulsive potentials jam (i.e., develop a yield stress in a disordered state) at zero temperature and applied stress. For each…
We study the depinning transition of the $1+1$ dimensional directed polymer in a random environment with a defect line. The random environment consists of i.i.d. potential values assigned to each site of $\mathbb{Z}^2$; sites on the…

In this paper, we study the so-called intermediate disorder regime for a directed polymer in a random environment with heavy-tail. Consider a simple symmetric random walk $(S_n)_{n\geq 0}$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d\geq 1$, and modify its…
We consider a hierarchical model of polymer pinning in presence of quenched disorder, introduced by B. Derrida, V. Hakim and J. Vannimenius in 1992, which can be re-interpreted as an infinite dimensional dynamical system with random initial…
The partition function of the directed polymer model on Z^{2+1} undergoes a phase transition in a suitable continuum and weak disorder limit. In this paper, we focus on a window around the critical point. Exploiting local renewal theorems,…
We introduce a multi-parameter family of random edge weights on the Aztec diamond graph, given by certain Gamma variables, and prove several results about the corresponding random dimer measures. Firstly, we show there is no phase…
We consider dimer models on growing Aztec diamonds, which are certain domains in the square lattice, with edge weights of the form $\nu(\,\cdot\,)^\beta$, where $\nu(\,\cdot\,)$ is a doubly periodic function on the edges of the lattice and…
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…

In this article we study a \emph{non-directed polymer model} on $\mathbb Z$, that is a one-dimensional simple random walk placed in a random environment. More precisely, the law of the random walk is modified by the exponential of the sum…

We consider the real $\beta$-ensemble (or 1D log-gas) of dimension $N$ in the high-temperature regime, \textit{i.e.} where the inverse temperature $\beta$ scales as $N\beta=2P$ with $P$ a fixed positive parameter. We establish the large-$N$…
