Queueing Transition of Directed Polymer in Random Media with a Defect

  • Conference paper
Complex Sciences (Complex 2009)

Abstract

We study a queueing transition of directed polymer in random media with an attractive defect at the center of the one dimensional substrate. The end to end distance Δx of the polymer follows Δx ~t 1/z with z = 3/2, for weak defect strength ε where t is the polymer length. If ε ≥ ε c then the polymer is localized with finite Δx in long t limit. The transition is related to the queueing phenomena of the asymmetric simple exclusion process.
