Abstract: We consider the Anderson polymer partition function u(t):=mathbb{E}^XBigl[e^{int_0^t mathrm{d}B^{X(s)}_s}Bigr],, where Btx,;,tgeq0xinmathbbZd is a family of independent fractional Brownian motions all with Hurst parameter Hin(0,1), and X(t)tinmathbbRgeq0 is a continuous-time simple symmetric random walk on mathbbZd with jump rate kappa and started from the origin. mathbbEX is the expectation with respect to this random walk. We prove that when Hleq1/2, the function u(t) almost surely grows asymptotically like elt, where l>0 is a deterministic number. More precisely, we show that as t approaches +infty, the expression frac1tlogu(t)tinmathbbR>0 converges both almost surely and in the mathcalL1 sense to some deterministic number l>0. For H>1/2, we first show that limtightarrowinftyfrac1tlogu(t) exists both almost surely and in the mathcalL1 sense, and equals a strictly positive deterministic number (possibly +infty); hence almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at least like eat for some deterministic constant a>0. On the other hand, we also show that almost surely and in the mathcalL1 sense, limsuptightarrowinftyfrac1tsqrtlogtlogu(t) is a deterministic finite real number (possibly zero), hence proving that almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at most like ebtsqrtlogt for some deterministic positive constant b. Finally, for H>1/2 when mathbbZd is replaced by a circle endowed with a H"older continuous covariance function, we show that limsuptightarrowinftyfrac1tlogu(t) is a finite deterministic positive number, hence proving that almost surely u(t) grows asymptotically at most like ect for some deterministic positive constant c.
