Abstract
We construct continuum directed polymer measures corresponding to the critical 2d stochastic heat flow (2d SHF) introduced by Caravenna, Sun, and Zygouras in their recent article [Inventiones mathematicae 233 , 325–460 (2023)]. For this purpose, we prove a Chapman-Kolmogorov relation for the 2d SHF along with a related elementary conditional expectation formula. We explore some basic properties of the continuum polymer measures, with our main focus being on their second moments. In particular, we show that the form of their second moments is consistent with the family of continuum polymer measures, indexed by a disorder strength parameter, having a conditional Gaussian multiplicative chaos distributional interrelationship similar to that previously found in an analogous hierarchical toy model.
