Abstract
I give a brief review of results obtained recently at Ecole Normale on the depinning transition of interfaces and contact lines using a variety of approaches: non-local Monte Carlo algorithms, dynamical renormalization group calculations to 2-loop order, and exact solution of an infinite-range model.
