We show that if the normalized partition function $W^{\beta}_n$ of the directed polymer model on $\mathbb Z^d$ converges to zero, then it does so exponentially fast. This implies that there exists a critical value $\beta_c$ for the inverse…
We study the charge transport across a band-tuned metal-insulator transition in two dimensions. For high temperatures $T$ and chemical potentials $\mu$ far from the transition point, conduction is ballistic and the resistance $R(T)$…
We consider random walks on finite vertex-transitive graphs $\Gamma$ of bounded degree. We find a simple geometric condition which characterises the cover time fluctuations: the suitably normalised cover time converges to a standard Gumbel…

Experimental realizations of a 1D interface always exhibit a finite microscopic width $\xi>0$; its influence is erased by thermal fluctuations at sufficiently high temperatures, but turns out to be a crucial ingredient for the description…
In terms of the replica method we consider the low temperature limit of (2+1) directed polymers in a random potential. The proposed approach allows to compute the scaling exponent $\theta$ of the free energy fluctuations as well as the left…

We consider the log-Gamma polymer in the half-space with bulk weights distributed as $\operatorname{Gamma}^{-1}(2\theta)$ and diagonal weights as $\operatorname{Gamma}^{-1}(\alpha+\theta)$ for $\theta>0$ and $\alpha>-\theta$. We show that…
Stretched polymers with attractive interaction are studied in two and three dimensions. They are described by biased self-avoiding random walks with nearest neighbour attraction. The bias corresponds to opposite forces applied to the first…
