We use the Bond Fluctuation Model (BFM) to study the pore-blockade times of a translocating polymer of length $N$ in two dimensions, in the absence of external forces on the polymer (i.e., unbiased translocation) and hydrodynamic…

We study a one dimensional directed polymer model in an inverse-gamma random environment, known as the log-gamma polymer, in three different geometries: point-to-line, point-to-half line and when the polymer is restricted to a half space…

The Random Walk Pinning Model (RWPM) is a statistical mechanics model in which the trajectory of a continuous time random walk $X=(X_t)_{t\geq 0}$ is rewarded according to the time it spends together with a moving catalyst. More…

We consider large time behavior of typical paths under the Anderson polymer measure. If $P$ is the measure induced by rate $\kappa,$ simple, symmetric random walk on $Z^d$ started at $x,$ this measure is defined as $$ d\mu(X)={Z^{-1}…
