Journal ArticleDOI

Tropical combinatorics and Whittaker functions

TL;DR: In this paper, a connection between the geometric Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence and GL(N,R)-Whittaker functions was established, analogous to the well-known relationship between the RSK correspondence and Schur functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geometric RSK correspondence, Whittaker functions and symmetrized random polymers

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the geometric lifting of the RSK correspondence introduced by A.N. Kirillov is volume-preserving with respect to a natural product measure on its domain, and that the integrand in Givental's integral formula for the Whittaker functions arises naturally in this context.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polynomial chaos and scaling limits of disordered systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors formulate general conditions ensuring that a sequence of multi-linear polynomials of independent random variables converges to a limiting random variable, given by a Wiener chaos expansion over the d-dimensional white noise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quenched and Annealed Critical Points in Polymer Pinning Models

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered a polymer with configuration modeled by the path of a Markov chain, interacting with a potential u+Vn which the chain encounters when it visits a special state 0 at time n. The disorder (Vn) is a fixed realization of an i.i.d. sequence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Universality in marginally relevant disordered systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider disordered systems of directed polymer type, for which disorder is so-called marginally relevant, and show that in a suitable weak disorder and continuum limit, the partition functions of these different models converge to a universal limit.
