摘要
Directed Feynman paths in 1 + 1 dimensions that acquire random phases are examined numerically and analytically. This problem is relevant for the behavior of the conductance in two-dimensional amorphous insulators in the variable-range-hopping regime. Large-scale numerical simulations were performed on a model with short-range correlations. For the scaling of the transverse fluctuations (approximately t(nu)). we obtain nu = 0.68+/-0.025; and for the r.m.s. free-energy fluctuations (approximately t(omega)), we obtain omega = 0.335+/-0.01. Up to 100000 random samples were used for times as large as 2000. These results seem to exclude a recent conjecture that nu = 3/4 and omega = 1/2. Two versions of a model with long-range correlations are solved and shown to yield nu = 1/2; a physical explanation is given.
