Desordre et phenomenes de localisation

Abstract

Cette these est consacree a l' etude de differents modeles aleatoires de polymeres. On s'interesse en particulier a l'influence du desordre sur la localisation des trajectoires pour les modeles d'accrochage et pour les polymeres diriges en milieu aleatoire. En plus des modeles classiques dans Zd, nous abordons l' etude de modeles dit hierarchiques, construits sur une suite de reseaux auto-similaires, tres present dans la litterature physique. Les resultats que nous avons obtenus concernent principalement l' energie libre et le phenomene de surdiffusivite. En particulier, nous prouvons: (1) la pertinence du desordre a toute temperature dans pour le modele d' accrochage desordonne en dimension 1 + 1, (2) l' occurence d' un desordre tres fort a toute temperature en dimension 1 + 2 pour les polymeres diriges en milieu aleatoire. This thesis studies models of random directed polymers. We focus on the influence of disorder on localization of the trajectories for pinning model and directed polymers in random environment. In addition to the classical Zd models, we pay a particular attention to so-called hierachical models, buildt on a sequence of self-similar lattices, that are frequently studied in the physics literature. The results we obtain concern mainly free energy and superdiffusivity properties. In particular we present the proof that: (1) disorder is relevant at arbitrary high temperature for pinning models in dimension 1 + 1, (2) very strong disorder holds at all temperature in dimension 1 + 2 for directed polymers in random environment.

Averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection

In this paper, we study averaging principles for nonautonomous multiscale stochastic Burgers equations with reflection. First, we derive a general averaging principle applicable to such equations under minimal assumptions. Subsequently, since the coefficients of the obtained averaged equation still depend on the small scaling parameter $\e$, we impose either periodic or asymptotic conditions on the coefficients, thereby obtain two distinct averaged equations whose coefficients are independent of $\e$ and establish two averaging principles. Stopping times and Khasminskii's time discretization schemes play an important role. Finally, a concrete example is provided to illustrate the applicability and validity of the theoretical results.

Spectral properties of Random Matrices

We give the theoretical foundations of random matrix theory through the definitions of a random matrix, a random probability measure and the corresponding empirical spectral distribution. The technical tool we use is the Stieltjes transform method through which we prove optimal convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of random sample covariance matrices to the deterministic Marchenko-Pastur distribution. We also give new results about the rigidity of the eigenvalues of this random sample covariance matrix and the rate of their convergence. We then define the Dyson equation method to prove new local laws about a random matrix model that interpolates between the Marchenko-Pastur distribution, the elliptical law and the circular law. Through our work these local laws can be considered universal.

Moments approach for the elephant random walk

We discuss the method of moments for the one-dimensional elephant random walk (ERW). We first derive a differential recurrence relation for the characteristic function of the ERW, which yields a corresponding system of recurrence relations for its moments. We then obtain asymptotic approximations for the moments in each of the three parameter regimes of the ERW. Finally, by establishing the convergence of the moments and verifying the corresponding moment-determinacy conditions, we identify the limiting distributions of the ERW in each regime.
