Abstract

The functional RG (FRG) approach to pinning of dd-dimensional manifolds is reexamined at any temperature TT. A simple relation between the coupling function R(u)R(u) and a physical observable is shown in any dd. In d=0d=0 its beta function is displayed to a high order, ambiguities resolved; for random field disorder (Sinai model) we obtain exactly the T=0 fixed point R(u)R(u) as well as its thermal boundary layer (TBL) form (i.e. for uTu \sim T) at T>0T>0. Connection between FRG in d=0d=0 and decaying Burgers is discussed. An exact solution to the functional RG hierarchy in the TBL is obtained for any dd and related to droplet probabilities.
