The maximum of 2d directed polymers. (Joint work with Shuta Nakajima and Ofer Zeitouni.)
[ Abstract ]
Directed polymers can be described as a tilting of the simple random walk, where some local random noise can attract or repel the trajectory of the walk. In the subcritical regime of the two-dimensional model, the partition function is known to be asymptotically approximated by a Gaussian log-correlated field. In a work in collaboration with Shuta Nakajima and Ofer Zeitouni, we could refine this result by proving that the maximum of the partition function field converges to that of a branching Brownian motion, which is the source of the log-correlation. In this talk, I will introduce the model as well as the objects related to it and present our result.
