They also conjectured that this should hold for directed polymers with general i.i.d weights. We prove that their conjecture is true for any $1/5<\\alpha<1/4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-10T21:32:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K37" ], "keywords": [ "intermediate disorder regime", "directed polymers", "universality", "tracy-widom gue distribution", "log-gamma polymer converge" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 40, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
