We consider the membrane model, that is the centered Gaussian field on $\mathbb Z^d$ whose covariance matrix is given by the inverse of the discrete Bilaplacian. We impose a $\delta-$pinning condition, giving a reward of strength…
Quantum particles in a disordered potential, photons or classical waves in a random medium, or the universe expansion in a fluctuating cosmic field, all share Anderson localization as a communality. In general, localization is enhanced for…

A recent development in studies of random non-Hermitian quantum systems is reviewed. Delocalization was found to occur under a sufficiently large constant imaginary vector potential even in one and two dimensions. The phenomenon has a…
We study the pinning phase transition for discrete surface dynamics in random environments. A renormalization procedure is devised to prove that the interface moves with positive velocity under a finite size condition. This condition is…
We consider d dimensional systems which are localized in the absence of interactions, but whose single particle (SP) localization length diverges near a discrete set of (single-particle) energies, with critical exponent \nu. This class…
In this work, we address the occurrence of infinite pinning in a random medium. We suppose that an initially flat interface starts to move through the medium due to some constant driving force. The medium is assumed to contain random…

We have studied numerically the dynamics of a driven elastic interface in a random medium, focusing on the thermal rounding of the depinning transition and on the behavior in the $T=0$ pinned phase. Thermal effects are quantitatively more…
We investigate the statistical properties of interfering directed paths in disordered media. At long distance, the average sign of the sum over paths may tend to zero (sign-disordered) or remain finite (sign-ordered) depending on…
We study the depinning transition of driven interfaces in thin ferromagnetic films driven by external magnetic fields. Approaching the transition point the correlation length increases with decreasing driving. If the correlation length…
The infinite-volume limit behavior of the 2d Ising model under possibly strong random boundary conditions is studied. The model exhibits chaotic size-dependence at low temperatures and we prove that the `+' and `-' phases are the only…
