The proposed approach allows to compute the scaling exponent $\\theta$ of the free energy fluctuations as well as the left tail of its probability distribution function. It is argued that $\\theta = 1/4$ which is slightly different from the zero-temperature numerical value which is close to $0.241$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-06-12T08:45:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "low temperature limit", "directed polymers", "scaling properties", "free energy fluctuations", "probability distribution function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
