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 +…

We compute the corrections to finite-size scaling for the N-vector model on the square lattice in the large-N limit. We find that corrections behave as log L/L^2. For tree-level improved hamiltonians corrections behave as 1/L^2. In general…

Single three dimensional polymers confined to a slab, i.e. to the region between two parallel plane walls, are studied by Monte Carlo simulations. They are described by $N$-step walks on a simple cubic lattice confined to the region $1 \le…
