The main question is: What does the path of a random walk look like if rewards and penalties are spatially randomly distributed? This model, which provides a simplified version of stretched elastic chains pinned by random impurities, has attracted much research activity, but it (and its relatives) still holds many secrets, especially in high dimensions. It has non-gaussian scaling limits and it belongs to the so-called KPZ universality class when the space is one-dimensional. Adopting a Gibbsian approach, using general and powerful tools from probability theory, the discrete model is studied in full generality. Presenting the state-of-the art from different perspectives, and written in the form of a first course on the subject, this monograph is aimed at researchers in probability or statistical physics, but is also accessible to masters and Ph.D. students 650 0$aRandom walks (Mathematics) 650 0$aMartingales (Mathematics) 711 2 $aEcole d'été de probabilités de Saint-Flour$n<46. ;$d2016 ;$cSaint-Flour, France> 776 08$aPrint version:$z9783319504865 856 40$uhttps://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-50487-2$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web 907 $a.b14326930$b03-03-22$c29-06-17 912 $a991003392369707536 996 $aDirected polymers in random environments$91466418 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale013$b29-06-17$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gsz $h0$i0
