We prove that two half-space models in the KPZ universality class, exponential last-passage percolation and a family of Poisson-avoiding metrics generalizing colored TASEP, converge to a common scaling limit. This scaling limit is the…

The scaling behavior of a directed polymer in a two-dimensional (2D) random potential under confining force is investigated. The energy of a polymer with configuration $\{y(x)\}$ is given by $H\big(\{y(x)\}\big) = \sum_{x=1}^N \exyx +…

Half-space directed polymers in random environments are models of interface growth in the presence of an attractive hard wall. They arise naturally in the study of wetting and entropic repulsion phenomena. In 1985, Kardar predicted a…

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…

In this note, we prove convergence of the half-space exponential last passage percolation (LPP) model, away from the boundary, to the directed landscape. Our approach couples the half-space and full-space LPP models and constructs two…

We prove that the free energy of the log-gamma polymer between lattice points $(1,1)$ and $(M,N)$ converges to the GUE Tracy-Widom distribution in the $M^{1/3}$ scaling, provided that $N/M$ remains bounded away from zero and infinity. We…

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…

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 study a (1+1)-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment on the integer lattice with log-gamma distributed weights. Among directed polymers, this model is special in the same way as the last-passage percolation model with…

We apply the Dijkstra algorithm to generate optimal paths between two given sites on a lattice representing a disordered energy landscape. We study the geometrical and energetic scaling properties of the optimal path where the energies are…

We study the partition function of two versions of the continuum directed polymer in 1+1 dimension. In the full-space version, the polymer starts at the origin and is free to move transversally in the reals, and in the half-space version,…

We study the free energy and its relevant quantity for the directed polymer in random environment. The polymer is allowed to make unbounded jumps and the environment is given by the Bernoulli variables. We first establish the concentration…

We study the directed polymer with fixed endpoints near an absorbing wall, in the continuum and in presence of disorder, equivalent to the KPZ equation on the half space with droplet initial conditions. From a Bethe Ansatz solution of the…

We calculate exactly the first cumulants of the free energy of a directed polymer in a random medium for the geometry of a cylinder. By using the fact that the n-th moment <Z^n> of the partition function is given by the ground state energy…

Polymers in confined spaces lose conformational entropy. This induces a net repulsive entropic force on the walls of the confining space. A model for this phenomenon is a lattice walk between confining walls, and in this paper a model of an…
