Numerical calculation of overlap distribution of $(2+1)$-dimensional directed polymer in random media

Abstract

We investigate $(2+1)$-dimensional discretized directed polymers in Gaussian random media. By numerically calculating the probability distribution function of overlap between two independent and identical systems on a common random potential, we show that there is no replica symmetry breaking. We also show that while the mean-squared displacement of one polymer end exhibits superdiffusive behavior, the mean-squared relative distance of two polymer ends exhibits subdiffusive behavior.
