Directed polymer in random environment and last passage percolation
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 14 (2010), pp. 263-270.

The sequence of random probability measures νn that gives a path of length n, 1 n times the sum of the random weights collected along the paths, is shown to satisfy a large deviations principle with good rate function the Legendre transform of the free energy of the associated directed polymer in a random environment. Consequences on the asymptotics of the typical number of paths whose collected weight is above a fixed proportion are then drawn.
