We present a continuum formulation of a (d+1)-dimensional directed line interacting with sparse potentials (i.e. d-dimensional potentials defined only at discrete longitudinal locations.) An iterative solution for the partition function is…
We study the half-space log-gamma polymer model with stationary initial conditions. We derive exact formulas for the distribution of the partition function along the diagonal across the entire High density phase and Low density phase. We…
We study the probability that two directed polymers in the same random potential do not intersect. We use the replica method to map the problem onto the attractive Lieb-Liniger model with generalized statistics between particles. We obtain…
It is a well-known open problem in the literature on random polymers to show that a directed polymer in random environment localizes around a favorite path at low temperature. A precise statement of this conjecture is formulated and proved…
We consider a stochastic model of N evolving particles studied by Brunet and Derrida. This model can be seen as a directed polymer in random medium with N sites in the transverse direction. Cook and Derrida, use heuristic arguments to…

We set up and solve a recursion relation for all even moments of a two-dimensional stiff polymer (Porod-Kratky wormlike chain) and determine from these moments a simple analytic expression for the end-to-end distribution at all persistence…
Double parton distributions (DPDs) receive a short-distance contribution from a single parton splitting to yield the two observed partons. We investigate this mechanism at next-to-leading order (NLO) in perturbation theory. Technically, we…
We introduce computable projection operators onto piecewise polynomial spaces, defined via sampling and discrete least-squares polynomial approximations. The resulting mappings exhibit (almost) optimal approximation properties in $L^2$ and…
We consider the problem of undirected polymers (tied at the endpoints) in random environment, also known as the unoriented first passage percolation on the hypercube, in the limit of large dimensions. By means of the multiscale refinement…
We obtain an exact result for the midpoint probability distribution function (pdf) of the stationary continuum directed polymer, when averaged over the disorder. It is obtained by relating that pdf to the linear response of the stochastic…
Explicit expressions for restricted partition function $W(s,{\bf d}^m)$ and its quasiperiodic components $W_j(s,{\bf d}^m)$ (called Sylvester waves) for a set of positive integers ${\bf d}^m = \{d_1, d_2, ..., d_m\}$ are derived. The…

The phase diagram of unzipping of an adsorbed directed polymer in two dimensions in a random medium has been determined. Both the hard-wall and the soft-wall cases are considered. Exact solutions for the pure problem with different…
For the directed polymer in a random environment (DPRE), two critical inverse-temperatures can be defined. The first one, $\beta_c$, separates the strong disorder regime (in which the normalized partition function $W^{\beta}_n$ tends to…
