The impact of polymer-polymer interactions of various types on the thermodynamics, structure, and accommodation of topological constraints is addressed for systems comprising many directed polymers in two spatial dimensions. The approach is…
Experimental observations and computer simulations have recently revealed universal aspects of polymer solution behaviour that were previously unknown. This progress has been made possible due to developments in experimental methodologies…
We give sharp estimate for the free energy of directed polymers in random environment in dimension 1+1. This estimate was known for a Gaussian environment, we extend it to the case where the law of the environment is infinitely divisible.
Consider directed polymers in a random environment on the complete graph of size $N$. This model can be formulated as a product of i.i.d. $N\times N$ random matrices and its large time asymptotics is captured by Lyapunov exponents and the…
Brownian motion is a continuum scaling limit for a wide class of random processes, and there has been great success in developing a theory for its properties (such as distribution functions or regularity) and expanding the breadth of its…

We experimentally measure the osmotic pressures of linear polymers and three-, four-, and eight-arm star polymers in a good solvent via membrane osmometry. These results reveal that the osmotic equations of state in the star polymer…
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…
We study the directed polymer of length $t$ in a random potential with fixed endpoints in dimension 1+1 in the continuum and on the square lattice, by analytical and numerical methods. The universal regime of high temperature $T$ is…
We consider the continuum directed random polymer (CDRP) model that arises as a scaling limit from $1+1$ dimensional directed polymers in the intermediate disorder regime. We show that for a point-to-point polymer of length $t$ and any…
We show that two semi-infinite positive temperature polymers coalesce on the scale predicted by KPZ (Kardar-Parisi-Zhang) universality. The two polymer paths have the same asymptotic direction and evolve in the same environment,…
