Probabilistic models of directed polymers in random environment have received considerable attention in recent years. Much of this attention has focused on integrable models. In this paper, we introduce some new computational tools that do…
Motivated by the problem of domain formation in chromosomes, we studied a co--polymer model where only a subset of the monomers feel attractive interactions. These monomers are displaced randomly from a regularly-spaced pattern, thus…

Two-dimensional networks of ordered quantum dots beyond the percolation threshold are studied, as typical example of conducting nanostructures with quenched random disorder. Theory predicts anomalous diffusion with stretched-exponential…
Quantum chaos is a major subject of interest in condensed matter theory, and has recently motivated new questions in the study of classical chaos. In particular, recent studies have uncovered interesting physics in the relationship between…

This paper is a follow-up work of arxiv.org/abs/2101.05949. We study a non-directed polymer model in random environments. The polymer is represented by a simple symmetric random walk $S$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ with $d\geq2$ and the random…
We show that the perturbative expansion of the two-level correlation function, $R(\omega)$, in disordered conductors can be understood semiclassically in terms of self-intersecting particle trajectories. This requires the extension of the…
The effects of two types of randomness on the behaviour of directed polymers are discussed in this chapter. The first part deals with the effect of randomness in medium so that a directed polymer feels a random external potential. The…
Molecules with complex internal structure in time-dependent periodic potentials are studied by using short Rubinstein-Duke model polymers as an example. We extend our earlier work on transport in stochastically varying potentials to cover…
We introduce and study the planted directed polymer, in which the path of a random walker is inferred from noisy 'images' accumulated at each timestep. Formulated as a nonlinear problem of Bayesian inference for a hidden Markov model, this…
In this paper we investigate the conformation statistics of a Gaussian chain embedded in a medium of finite size, in the presence of quenched random obstacles. The similarities and differences between the case of random obstacles and the…
We define a random walk problem which admits analytic results, on a class of infinite periodic lattices which are directed and colored. Our approach is motivated from the fact that such lattices arise in string theoretic constructs of…
The distribution of monomers in a coating of grafted and adsorbing polymers is modelled using a grafted staircase polygon in the square lattice. The adsorbing staircase polygon consists of a bottom and a top lattice path (branches) and the…
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 investigate certain measures induced by families of non-intersecting paths in domino tilings of the Aztec diamond, rhombus tilings of an abc-hexagon, a dimer model on a cylindrical brick lattice and a growth model. The measures obtained,…
We study the time evolution of perturbations in spatially extended chaotic systems in the presence of quenched disorder. We find that initially random perturbations tend to exponentially localize in space around static pinning centers that…
We consider scenarios where the dynamics of a quantum system are partially determined by prior local measurements of some interacting environmental degrees of freedom. The resulting effective system dynamics are described by a disordered…
We have obtained the universal conductance distribution of two-dimensional disordered systems in the strongly localized limit. This distribution is directly related to the Tracy-Widom distribution, which has recently appeared in many…
We present numerical simulation results of driven vortex lattices in presence of random disorder at zero temperature. We show that the plastic dynamics is readily understood in the framework of chaos theory. Intermittency "routes to chaos"…
