Abstract
Seppäläinen and Valkó showed in [20] that for a suitable choice of parameters, the variance growth of the free energy of the stationary O’Connell-Yor polymer is governed by the exponent 2/3, characteristic of models in the KPZ universality class. We develop exact formulas based on Gaussian integration by parts to relate the cumulants of the free energy, logZθ n,t, to expectations of products of quenched cumulants of the time of the first jump from the boundary into the system, s0. We then use these formulas to obtain estimates for the k-th central moment of logZθ n,t as well as the k-th annealed moment of s0 for k > 2, with nearly optimal exponents (1/3)k + and (2/3)k + , respectively. As an application, we derive new high probability bounds for the distance between the polymer path and a straight line connecting the origin to the endpoint of the path.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
