Can the joint measures of quenched disordered lattice spin models (with finite range) on the product of spin-space and disorder-space be represented as (suitably generalized) Gibbs measures of an ``annealed system''? - We prove that there…
In two dimensional disordered lattices, presence of interaction makes particles less localized than the non-interacting ones within the range of disorder strength $W \le 4$ and interaction strength $V \le 4$. If the interaction strength is…

We consider a renewal process \tau={\tau_0,\tau_1,...} on the integers, where the law of \tau_i-\tau_{i-1} has a power-like tail P(\tau_i-\tau_{i-1}=n)=n^{-(\alpha+1)}L(n) with \alpha\ge0 and L(.) slowly varying. We then assign a random,…

We show how decimated Gibbs measures which have an unbroken continuous symmetry due to the Mermin-Wagner theorem, although their discrete equivalents have a phase transition, still can become non-Gibbsian. The mechanism rests on the…
We study one-dimensional disordered systems with average non-invertible symmetries, where quenched disorder may locally break part of the symmetry while preserving it upon disorder averaging. A canonical example is the random…
The random disorder can drastically change the melting scenario of two-dimensional systems and has to be taken into account in the interpretation of the experimental results. We present the results of the molecular dynamics simulations of…
