Exponents governing the rarity of disjoint polymers in Brownian last passage percolation
PROCEEDINGS OF THE LONDON MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY(2020)
摘要
In last passage percolation models lying in the KPZ universality class, long maximizing paths have a typical deviation from the linear interpolation of their endpoints governed by the two-thirds power of the interpolating distance. This two-thirds power dictates a choice of scaled coordinates, in which these maximizers, now called polymers, cross unit distances with unit-order fluctuations. In this article, we consider Brownian last passage percolation in these scaled coordinates, and prove that the probability of the presence of k disjoint polymers crossing a unit-order region while beginning and ending within a short distance epsilon of each other is bounded above by epsilon(k2-1)/2+o(1). This result, which we conjecture to be sharp, yields understanding of the uniform nature of the coalescence structure of polymers, and plays a foundational role in Hammond (Forum Math. Pi 7 (2019) e2, 69) in proving comparison on unit-order scales to Brownian motion for polymer weight profiles from general initial data. The present paper also contains an on-scale articulation of the two-thirds power law for polymer geometry: polymers fluctuate by epsilon 2/3 on short scales epsilon.
