Abstract: In this article we study a emph{non-directed polymer model} on $mathbbZ$, that is a one-dimensional simple random walk placed in a random environment. More precisely, the law of the random walk is modified by the exponential of the sum of "rewards" (or penalities) $$ sitting on the range of the random walk, where $(omeg{a}_x{)}_{xinmathbbZ}$ are i.i.d. random variables (the disorder), and where $$ (disorder strength) and $hinmathbbR$ (external field) are two parameters. When $$, this corresponds to a random walk penalized by its range; when $$, this corresponds to the "standard" polymer model in random environment, except that it is non-directed. In this work, we allow the parameters $$ to vary according to the length of the random walk, and we study in detail the competition between the emph{stretching effect} of the disorder, the emph{folding effect} of the external field (if $hge0$), and the emph{entropy cost} of atypical trajectories. We prove a complete description of the (rich) phase diagram. For instance, in the case $$ of the non-directed polymer, if $omeg{a}_x$ ha a finite second moment, we find a transversal fluctuation exponent $xi=2/3$, and we identify the limiting distribution of the rescaled log-partition function.
