Abstract
We study, using functional renormalization (FRG), two copies of an elastic system pinned by mutually correlated random potentials. Short scale decorrelation depend on a non trivial boundary layer regime with (possibly multiple) chaos exponents. Large scale mutual displacement correlation behave as , the decorrelation exponent proportional to the difference between Flory (or mean field) and exact roughness exponent . For short range disorder but small, e.g. for random bond interfaces , , and for the one component Bragg glass. Random field (i.e long range) disorder exhibits finite residual correlations (no chaos ) described by new FRG fixed points. Temperature and dynamic chaos (depinning) are discussed.
