The first main goal of this article is to give a new metrization of the Mukherjee--Varadhan topology, recently introduced as a translation-invariant compactification of the space of probability measures on Euclidean spaces. This new metrization allows us to achieve our second goal which is to extend the recent program of Bates and Chatterjee on localization for the endpoint distribution of discrete directed polymers to polymers based on general random walks in Euclidean spaces. Following their…

Dynamic polymers: invariant measures and ordering by noise
We develop a dynamical approach to infinite volume directed polymer measures in random environments. We define polymer dynamics in 1+1 dimension as a stochastic gradient flow on polymers pinned at…
Full-path localization of directed polymers
Certain polymer models are known to exhibit path localization in the sense that at low temperatures, the average fractional overlap of two independent samples from the Gibbs measure is bounded away…

Empirical distributions, geodesic lengths, and a variational formula in first-passage percolation.
This article resolves, in a dense set of cases, several open problems concerning geodesics in i.i.d. first-passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Our primary interest is in the empirical measures of…

TLDR
This dissertation develops techniques for analyzing infinite-volume asymptotics in the statistical mechanical setting, and focuses on the low-temperature phases of spin glasses and directed polymers, wherein the ensembles exhibit localization which is physically phenomenological.

We introduce the notion of \emph{localization at the boundary} for conditioned random walks in i.i.d. and uniformly elliptic random environment on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions two and higher.…

Fluctuation Exponents of the KPZ equation on a large torus
. We study the one-dimensional KPZ equation on a large torus, started at equilibrium. The main results are optimal variance bounds in the super-relaxation regime and part of the relaxation regime.…
