In terms of the standard replica technique it is demonstrated that in this limit the considered system reveals the one-step replica symmetry breaking structure similar to the one which takes place in the Random Energy Model. In particular, it is shown that at the temperature $T_{*} \\sim (u R)^{1/3}$ (where $u$ and $R$ are the strength and the correlation length of the random potential) there is a crossover from the high- to the low-temperature regime. Namely, in the high-temperature regime at $T >> T_{*}$ the model is equivalent to the one with the $\\delta$-correlated potential where the non-universal prefactor of the free energy is proportional to $T^{-2/3}$, while at $T << T_{*}$ this non-universal prefactor saturates at a finite (temperature independent) value.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-19T07:13:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "zero temperature limit", "directed polymers", "symmetry breaking structure similar", "one-step replica symmetry breaking structure", "finite range correlated random potential" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
