We consider the Ising model between 2 and 4 dimensions perturbed by quenched disorder in the strength of the interaction between nearby spins. In the interval 2<d<4 this disorder is a relevant perturbation that drives the system to a new…
We consider the one-dimensional partially asymmetric exclusion process with random hopping rates, in which a fraction of particles (or sites) have a preferential jumping direction against the global drift. In this case the accumulated…
We study random pinning and copolymer models, when the return distribution of the underlying renewal process has a polynomial tail with finite mean. We compute the asymptotic behavior of the critical curves of the models in the weak…
The simultaneous effect of both disorder and crystal-lattice pinning on the equilibrium behavior of oriented elastic objects is studied using scaling arguments and a functional renormalization group technique. Our analysis applies to…
A class of discrete renewal processes with super-exponentially decaying inter-arrival distributions coincides with the infinite volume limit of general homogeneous pinning models in their localized phase. Pinning models are statistical…
We study a 1D system with a power-law quasiparticle dispersion $\propto |k|^\alpha\sign k$ in the presence of a short-range-correlated random potential and demonstrate that for $\alpha<1/2$ it exhibits a disorder-driven quantum phase…
We employ a functional renormalization group to study interfaces in the presence of a pinning potential in $d=4-\epsilon$ dimensions. In contrast to a previous approach [D.S. Fisher, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 56}, 1964 (1986)] we use a…
We investigate the effect of a unidirectional quenched random field on the anisotropic quantum spin-1/2 $XY$ model, which magnetizes spontaneously in the absence of the random field. We adopt mean-field approach to show that spontaneous…
In experiments the two-dimensional systems are realized mainly on solid substrates which introduce quenched disorder due to some inherent defects. The defects of substrates influence the melting scenario of the systems and have to be taken…
The half-filled attractive Hubbard model exhibits simultaneous charge density wave and superconducting order in its ground state. In this paper we explore the effect of disorder in the site energies on this degeneracy. We find that…
We study a modified model of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation with quenched disorder, in which the driving force decreases as the interface rises up. A critical state is self-organized, and the anomalous scaling law with roughness exponent…
Gade [R. Gade, Nucl. Phys. B \textbf{398}, 499 (1993)] has shown that the local density of states for a particle hopping on a two-dimensional bipartite lattice in the presence of weak disorder and in the absence of time-reversal…

We investigate the impact of quenched disorder in the critical $O(2)$ vector model. We first review, in the modern language of Conformal Perturbation Theory, the random temperature perturbation in $4-\epsilon$. Then, we present a direct…
We consider classical spin models of two- and three-dimensional spins with continuous symmetry and investigate the effect of a symmetry-breaking unidirectional quenched disorder on the magnetization of the system. We work in the mean-field…
The reduced density matrix of many-body systems possessing an additive conserved quantity can be decomposed in orthogonal sectors which can be independently analyzed. Recently, these have been proven to equally contribute to entanglement…
In this paper, we explore quantum criticality in the disordered Aubry-Andr\'{e} (AA) model. For the pure AA model, it is well-known that it hosts a critical point separating an extended phase and a localized insulator phase by tuning the…
We study the effects of uncorrelated quenched disorder to the phase diagram and continuous transitions of three-dimensional lattice ${\mathbb Z}_2$ gauge Higgs models. For this purpose, we consider two types of quenched disorder, associated…
Despite decades of research, the precise role of topological disorder in critical phenomena has yet to be fully understood. A major contribution has been the work by Barghathi and Vojta, which uses spatial correlations to explain puzzling…
We investigate the phase diagram of disordered copolymers at the interface between two selective solvents, and in particular its weak-coupling behavior, encoded in the slope $m_c$ of the critical line at the origin. In mathematical terms,…
