Abstract: We consider a discrete-time version of the parabolic Anderson model. This may be described as a model for a directed (1+d)-dimensional polymer interacting with a random potential, which is constant in the deterministic direction and i.i.d. in the d orthogonal directions. The potential at each site is a positive random variable with a polynomial tail at infinity. We show that, as the size of the system diverges, the polymer extremity is localized almost surely at one single point which grows ballistically. We give an explicit characterization of the localization point and of the typical paths of the model.

Review text

A discrete-time version of the parabolic Anderson model is considered. The model is built on two main ingredients, a random walk and a random potential. This model can be considered as a model for a directed \((1+d)\)-dimensional polymer interacting with a positive random potential. It is shown that as the size of the system diverges, the polymer extremity is localized almost surely at one single point which grows ballistically. An explicit characterization of the localization point and of the typical paths is given.
