چکیده

We examine the sensitiveness of the free-energy landscape of a directed polymer in random media with respect to various kinds of infinitesimally weak perturbation including the intriguing case of temperature chaos. To this end, we combine the replica Bethe Ansatz approach outlined by Sales and Yoshino (e-print cond-mat/0112384), the mapping to a modified Sinai model, and numerically exact calculations by the transfer-matrix method. Our results imply that for all the perturbations under study there is a slow crossover from a weakly perturbed regime, where rare events take place, to a strongly perturbed regime at larger length scales beyond the so-called overlap length, where typical events take place leading to chaos, i.e., a complete reshuffling of the free-energy landscape. Within the replica space, the evidence for chaos is found in the factorization of the replicated partition function induced by infinitesimal perturbations. This is the reflex of explicit replica-symmetry breaking.

Majorizing 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 ...

Prediction of Time of Capillary Rise in Porous Media Using Artificial Neural Network (ANN)

An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to analyse the capillary rise in porous media. Wetting experiments were performed with fifteen liquids and fifteen different powders. The liquids covered a wide range  of  surface  tension ( 15.45-71.99  mJ/m2 )  and  viscosity (0.25-21 mPa.s). The powders also provided an acceptable range of particle size (0.012-45 μm) and surface free...

Some new results on Brownian Directed Polymers in Random Environment

We prove some new results on Brownian directed polymers in random environment recently introduced by the authors. The directed polymer in this model is a d-dimensional Brownian motion (up to finite time t) viewed under a Gibbs measure which is built up with a Poisson random measure on R+×R (=time × space). Here, the Poisson random measure plays the role of the random environment which is indepe...

Correlated energy landscape model for finite, random heteropolymers.

In this paper, we study the role of correlations in the energy landscape of a finite random heteropolymer by developing the mapping onto the generalized random energy model ~GREM! proposed by Derrida and Gardner @J. Phys. C 19, 2253 ~1986!# in the context of spin glasses. After obtaining the joint distribution for energies of pairs of configurations, and by calculating the entropy of the polyme...

Geometry of optimal path hierarchies

We investigate the hierarchy of optimal paths in a disordered landscape, based on the best path, the second best path and so on in terms of an energy. By plotting each path at a height according to its energy above some zero level, a landscape appears. This landscape is self-affine and controlled by two Hurst exponents: the one controlling the height fluctuations is 1/3 and the one controlling ...
