During last two decades it has been discovered that the statistical properties of a number of microscopically rather different random systems at the macroscopic level are described by {\it the same} universal probability distribution…
We consider two models for directed polymers in space-time independent random media (the O'Connell-Yor semi-discrete directed polymer and the continuum directed random polymer) at positive temperature and prove their KPZ universality via…
We consider the solution of the stochastic heat equation \partial_T \mathcal{Z} = 1/2 \partial_X^2 \mathcal{Z} - \mathcal{Z} \dot{\mathscr{W}} with delta function initial condition \mathcal{Z} (T=0)= \delta_0 whose logarithm, with…
Recently, it was shown that the probability distribution function (PDF) of the free energy of a single continuum directed polymer (DP) in a random potential, equivalently of the height of a growing interface described by the…
Although time-dependent random media with short range correlations lead to (possibly biased) normal tracer diffusion, anomalous fluctuations occur away from the most probable direction. This was pointed out recently in 1D lattice random…
We investigate $(2+1)$-dimensional discretized directed polymers in Gaussian random media. By numerically calculating the probability distribution function of overlap between two independent and identical systems on a common random…
The distribution function of the free energy fluctuations in one-dimensional directed polymers with $\delta$-correlated random potential is studied by mapping the replicated problem to a many body quantum boson system with attractive…
The model of Brownian Percolation has been introduced as an approximation of discrete last-passage percolation models close to the axis. It allowed to compute some explicit limits and prove fluctuation theorems for these, based on the…
Because of a close blood relationship between directed percolation & directed polymers in random media, the latter's journey to asymptotic scaling can be greatly retarded by an uninformed choice of departure point; i.e., the bare-bond PDF…
In this work we study the diffusion of non-interacting overdamped particles, moving on unbiased disordered correlated potentials, subjected to Gaussian white noise. We obtain an exact expression for the diffusion coefficient which allows us…
In this note we give upper bounds for the free energy of discrete polymers in random media. The bounds are given by the so-called generalized multiplicative cascades from the statistical theory of turbulence. For the polymer model, we…
The distribution function of the free energy fluctuations in one-dimensional directed polymers with $\delta$-correlated random potential is studied by mapping the replicated problem to the $N$-particle quantum boson system with attractive…
Detection of the number of signals corrupted by high-dimensional noise is a fundamental problem in signal processing and statistics. This paper focuses on a general setting where the high-dimensional noise has an unknown complicated…
This review is devoted to the detailed consideration of the universal statistical properties of one-dimensional directed polymers in a random potential. In terms of the replica Bethe ansatz technique we derive several exact results for…
We analyze, via Imry-Ma scaling arguments, the strong disorder phases that exist in low dimensions at all temperatures for directed polymers and interfaces in random media. For the uncorrelated Gaussian disorder, we obtain that the optimal…
We study analytically and numerically the winding of directed polymers of length $t$ around each other or around a rod. Unconfined polymers in pure media have exponentially decaying winding angle distributions, the decay constant depending…
The one dimensional direct polymer in random media model is investigated using a variational approach in the replica space. We demonstrate numerically that the stable point is a maximum and the corresponding statistical properties for the…
We consider the fluctuations of the free energy of positive temperature directed polymers in thin rectangles (N,N^{\alpha}), \alpha < 3/14. For general weight distributions with finite fourth moment we prove that the distribution of these…
Recent measurements of resonance widths for low-energy neutron scattering off heavy nuclei show large deviations from the standard Porter-Thomas distribution. We propose a new resonance width distribution based on the random matrix theory…
A variational method that allows for replica-symmetry breaking is applied to directed polymers in an (N+1)-dimensional disordered medium. The noise studied here has gaussian correlations, i.e. it is short-ranged. In dimensions N<2, the…
