%0 Journal Article %T Strong localization and macroscopic atoms for directed polymers %A Vincent Vargas %J Mathematics %D 2006 %I arXiv %X In this article, we derive strong localization results for directed polymers in random environment. We show that at "low temperature" the polymer measure is asymptotically concentrated at a few points of macroscopic mass (we call these points epsilon-atoms). These results are derived assuming weak conditions on the tail decay of the random environment. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0603233v1
