The distribution of relative free energies H of directed polymers in disordered media is studied, which is in the KPZ universality class. We study the distribution at large temperatures, corresponding to short times in KPZ. Using a statistical mechanics-based large-deviation approach, the distribution can be obtained over a large range of the support, down to a probability density as small as 10−1000 [1]. We compare with analytical predictions for different types of initial conditions and for full as well as for half space [2]. A very good agreement is found for H<0 and a strong convergence is visible for H>0. Furthermore, we study the morphology of atypical fluctuations [3], compare with analytical results from the optimal fluctuation method, and find again a good agreement.
