Abstract: We consider the point-to-point continuum directed random polymer ($mathsfCDRP$) model that arises as a scaling limit from $1+1$ dimensional directed polymers in the intermediate disorder regime. We show that the annealed law of a point-to-point $mathsfCDRP$ of length $t$ converges to the Brownian bridge under diffusive scaling when $tdownarrow0$. In case that $t$ is large, we show that the transversal fluctuations of point-to-point $mathsfCDRP$ are governed by the $2/3$ exponent. More precisely, as $t$ tends to infinity, we prove tightness of the annealed path measures of point-to-point $mathsfCDRP$ of length $t$ upon scaling the length by $t$ and fluctuations of paths by $t^{2/3}$. The $2/3$ exponent is tight such that the one-point distribution of the rescaled paths converges to the geodesics of the directed landscape. This point-wise convergence can be enhanced to process-level modulo a conjecture. Our short and long-time tightness results also extend to point-to-line $mathsfCDRP$. In the course of proving our main results, we establish quantitative versions of quenched modulus of continuity estimates for long-time $mathsfCDRP$ which are of independent interest.
