We study biased random walkers on lattices with randomly dispersed static traps in one, two and three dimensions. As the external bias is increased from zero the system undergoes a phase transition, most clearly manifested in the asymptotic…

The transition from a weak-disorder (diffusive phase) to a strong-disorder (localized phase) for directed polymers in a random environment is a well studied phenomenon. In the most common setup, it is established that the phase transition…

We study the dynamics of a polymer or a D-dimensional elastic manifold diffusing and convected in a non-potential static random flow (the ``randomly driven polymer model''). We find that short-range (SR) disorder is relevant for d < 4 for…

Distribution of loops in a one-dimensional random walk (RW), or, equivalently, neutral segments in a sequence of positive and negative charges is important for understanding the low energy states of randomly charged polymers. We investigate…
