Let W N ( β ) = E 0 e ∑ n = 1 N β ω ( n , S n ) - N β 2 / 2 be the partition function of a two-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment, where ω ( i , x ) , i ∈ N , x ∈ Z 2 are i.i.d. standard normal and { S n } is the path of a random walk. With β = β N = β ^ π / log N and β ^ ∈ ( 0 , 1...

Description
Summary:Let W N ( β ) = E 0 e ∑ n = 1 N β ω ( n , S n ) - N β 2 / 2 be the partition function of a two-dimensional directed polymer in a random environment, where ω ( i , x ) , i ∈ N , x ∈ Z 2 are i.i.d. standard normal and { S n } is the path of a random walk. With β = β N = β ^ π / log N and β ^ ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) (the subcritical window), log W N ( β N ) is known to converge in distribution to a Gaussian law of mean - λ 2 / 2 and variance λ 2 , with λ 2 = log ( 1 / ( 1 - β ^ 2 ) ) (Caravenna et al. in Ann Appl Probab 27(5):3050–3112, 2017). We study in this paper the moments E [ W N ( β N ) q ] in the subcritical window, for q = O ( log N ) . The analysis is based on ruling out triple intersections.
