Strong localization and macroscopic atoms for directed polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, we derive strong localization results for directed polymers in random environment. We show that at ”low temperature” the polymer measure is asymptotically concentrated at a few points of macroscopic mass (we call these points ǫ-atoms). These results are derived assuming weak conditions on the tail decay of the random environment. MSC: 60K37;82B44

Localization and Perron–frobenius Theory for Directed Polymers
We consider directed polymers in a random potential given by a deterministic profile with a strong maximum at the origin taken with random sign at each integer time. We study two main objects based on paths in this random potential. First, we use the random potential and averaging over paths to define a parabolic model via a random Feynman–Kac evolution operator. We show that for the resulting ...
متن کاملDirected Polymers in Random Environment: Path Localization and Strong Disorder
We consider directed polymers in random environment. Under mild assumptions on the environment, we prove here: (i) equivalence of decay rate of the partition function with some natural localization properties of the path, (ii) quantitative estimates of the decay of the partition function in dimensions one or two, or at sufficiently low temperature, (iii) existence of quenched free energy. In pa...
متن کاملFunctional and Molecular Characterization of C91S Mutation in the Second Epidermal Growth Factor-like Domain of Factor VII
Background: Coagulation Factor VII is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease which has a pivotal role in the initiation of the coagulation cascade. The congenital Factor VII deficiency is a recessive hemorrhagic disorder that occurs due to mutations of F7 gene. In the present study C91S (p.C91S) substitution was detected in a patient with FVII deficiency. This mutation has not b...
متن کاملMajorizing Multiplicative Cascades for Directed Polymers in Random Media
In this note we give upper bounds for the free energy of discrete directed 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 derive that the quenched free energy is different from the annealed one in dimension 1, for any finite temperature and general environment. This implies ...
متن کاملShear Localization due to Strain Softening in Side Pressed Cylinders
In this paper, shear localization due to strain softening in sidepressed cylinders, is inverstigated. Shear localization causes formation of macroscopic shear bands which can be obsserved in the metallographic cross-section. In this paper, for the first time a method is presented in which a simple two-slice model is used to study the formation of shear bands. The results obtained form this mode...
