1209.3603 (Victor Dotsenko)

Replica Bethe ansatz derivation of the GOE Tracy-Widom distribution in
one-dimensional directed polymers with free boundary conditions
   [PDF]

Victor Dotsenko
The distribution function of the free energy fluctuations in one-dimensional directed polymers with free boundary conditions is derived by mapping the replicated problem to the N-particle quantum boson system with attractive interactions. It is shown that in the thermodynamic limit this function is described by the universal Tracy-Widom distribution of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble.
