Random potentials for pinning models with \nabla and Δinteractions

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider two models for biopolymers, the ∇\nabla interaction and the ΔΔ one, both with the Gaussian potential in the random environment. A random field φ:0,1,...,N→Rdφ:{0,1,...,N}\rightarrow \Bbb{R}^d represents the position of the polymer path. The law of the field is given by exp⁡(−∑i∣∇φi∣22)\exp(-\sum_i\frac{|\nablaφ_i|^2}{2}) where ∇\nabla is the discrete gradient, and by exp⁡(−∑i∣Δφi∣22)\exp(-\sum_i\frac{|Δφ_i|^2}{2}) where ΔΔ is the discrete Laplacian. For every Gaussian potential ∣⋅∣22\frac{|\cdot|^2}{2}, a random charge is added as a factor: (1+βωi)∣⋅∣22(1+βω_i)\frac{|\cdot|^2}{2} with P(ωi=±1)=1/2\Bbb{P}(ω_i=\pm 1)=1/2 or exp⁡(βωi)∣⋅∣22\exp(βω_i)\frac{|\cdot|^2}{2} with ωiω_i obeys a normal distribution. The interaction with the origin in the random field space is considered. Each time the field touches the origin, a reward ε≥0ε\geq 0 is given. Although these models are quite different from the pinning models studied in Giacomin (2007), the result about the gap between the annealed critical point and the quenched critical point stays the same.
