By extending the Kac-Rice approach to manifolds of finite internal dimension, we show that the mean number $\left\langle\mathcal{N}_\mathrm{tot}\right\rangle$ of all possible equilibria (i.e. force-free configurations, a.k.a. equilibrium…
We show that the distribution of the time delay for one-dimensional random potentials is universal in the high energy or weak disorder limit. Our analytical results are in excellent agreement with extensive numerical simulations carried out…
We consider random walk in a space-time random potential, also known as directed random polymer measures, on the planar square lattice with nearest-neighbor steps and general i.i.d. weights on the vertices. We construct covariant cocycles…
These notes are based on a talk given at the 2018 Arizona School of Analysis and Mathematical Physics. We give a comprehensive introduction to the KPZ universality class, a conjectured class of stochastic process with local interactions…
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…
In this work, we study a class of nonlocal-in-time kinetic models of incompressible dilute polymeric fluids. The system couples a macroscopic balance of linear momentum equation with a mezoscopic subdiffusive Fokker-Planck equation…
We obtain an exact result for the midpoint probability distribution function (pdf) of the stationary continuum directed polymer, when averaged over the disorder. It is obtained by relating that pdf to the linear response of the stochastic…

Consider random matrices $A$, of dimension $m\times (m+n)$, drawn from an ensemble with probability density $f(\rmtr AA^\dagger)$, with $f(x)$ a given appropriate function. Break $A = (B,X)$ into an $m\times m$ block $B$ and the…
We study the Directed Polymer model subject to a particular form of disorder, $\eta(x,t)=\eta_X(x) \eta_T(t)$, recently proposed in biological applications. We find that two new universality classes arise, depending on the the lattice…
The strong-coupling regime of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang surface growth driven by short-ranged noise has an upper critical dimension d_> less or equal to four (where the dynamic exponent z takes the value z (d_>) = 2). To derive this, we use the…
We introduce the notion of energy solutions of the KPZ equation. Under minimal assumptions, we prove that the density fluctuations of one-dimensional, weakly asymmetric, conservative particle systems with respect to the stationary states…
Consider a deterministically growing surface of any dimension, where the growth at a point is an arbitrary nonlinear function of the heights at that point and its neighboring points. Assuming that this nonlinear function is monotone,…
This paper generalises the exponential family GLM to allow arbitrary distributions for the response variable. This is achieved by combining the model-assisted regression approach from survey sampling with the GLM scoring algorithm, weighted…
A model based on the aspect of the distribution of the length of conduction paths accessible for electric charge flow reproduces the universal power-law dispersive ac conductivity observed in polymer networks and, generally, in disordered…

We study the long-range directed polymer model on $\mathbbm{Z}$ in a random environment, where the underlying random walk lies in the domain of attraction of an $\alpha$-stable process for some $\alpha\in(0,2]$. Similar to the more classic…
The number of allowed configurations of a polymer is reduced by the presence of a repulsive surface resulting in an entropic force between them. We develop a method to calculate the entropic force, and detailed pressure distribution, for…
The minimal energy variations of a directed polymer with tilted columnar disorder in two dimensions are shown numerically to obey a multiscaling at short distances which crosses over to global simple scaling at large distances. The scenario…
