A Condition for Weak Disorder for Directed Polymers in Random Environment

Matthias Birkner (Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Germany)

Abstract


We give a sufficient criterion for the weak disorder regime of directed polymers in random environment, which extends a well-known second moment criterion. We use a stochastic representation of the size-biased law of the partition function.
