Directed polymers in a random environment are investigated. Using martingale decomposition and martingale analysis there are proven: equivalence between the decay rate of the partition function and some natural localization properties of the path; some quantitative estimates of the decay of the partition function in one or two dimensions, or at sufficiently low temperature; the existence of quenched free energy. In particular, the results of Carmona and Hu are generalized to general environments.
