Directed polymers in random environments : École d'été de probabilités de Saint-Flour, XLVI-2016 /

Analyzing the phase transition from diffusive to localized behavior in a model of directed polymers in a random environment, this volume places particular emphasis on the localization phenomenon. The main questionis: What does the path of a random walk look like if rewards and penalties are spatiall...
