The Stress Tensor in Quenched Random Systems

The talk describes recent progress in understanding the behaviour of the stress tensor and its correlation functions at a critical point of a generic quenched random system. The topics covered include:(i) the stress tensor in random systems considered as deformed pure systems; (ii) correlators of the stress tensor at a random fixed point: expectations from the replica approach and c-theorem sum rules; (iii) partition function on a torus; (iv) how the stress tensor enters into correlation functions: subtleties with Kac operators.
