We study the influence of a correlated disorder on the localization phase transition in the pinning model. When correlations are strong enough, a strong disorder regime arises: large and frequent attractive regions appear in the…

We show that most of the results proven in the localized regime of the pinning model with independent disorder (notably, $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ regularity of the free energy, size of the largest gap among pinned sites and Central Limit…

We study the random pinning model, in the case of a Gaussian environment presenting power-law decaying correlations, of exponent decay a>0. We comment on the annealed (i.e. averaged over disorder) model, which is far from being trivial, and…

The effect of disorder on pinning and wetting models has attracted much attention in theoretical physics. In particular, it has been predicted on the basis of the Harris criterion that disorder is relevant (annealed and quenched model have…

The purpose of this paper is to show how one can extend some results on disorder relevance obtained for the random pinning model with i.i.d disorder to the model with finite range correlated disorder. In a previous work, the annealed…

This paper presents a very simple and self-contained proof of disorder irrelevance for inhomogeneous pinning models with return exponent alpha in the Interval (0,1/2). We also give a new upper bound for the contact fraction of the…

The purpose of this short note is to establish a connection between a one-dimensional random walk in a random sparse environment and the random pinning model. We show that the grand canonical partition function of the pinning model…

We review recent works where we have shown that disorder relevance is closely related to the existence of non-trivial, random continuum limits

We investigate the effect of correlated disorder on the localization transition undergone by a renewal sequence with loop exponent $\alpha$ > 0, when the correlated sequence is given by another independent renewal set with loop exponent…

We consider the hierarchical disordered pinning model studied in [9], which exhibits a localization/delocalization phase transition. In the case where the disorder is i.i.d. (independent and identically distributed), the question of…

We investigate disorder relevance for the pinning of a renewal whose inter-arrival law has tail exponent $\alpha>0$ when the law of the random environment is in the domain of attraction of a stable law with parameter $\gamma \in (1,2)$. We…

Recent results have lead to substantial progress in understanding the role of disorder in the (de)localization transition of polymer pinning models. Notably, there is an understanding of the crucial issue of disorder relevance and…

Any renewal processes on $\mathbb{N}$ with a polynomial tail, with exponent $\alpha \in (0,1)$, has a non-trivial scaling limit, known as the $\alpha$-stable regenerative set. In this paper we consider Gibbs transformations of such renewal…

Disordered pinning models deal with the (de)localization tran- sition of a polymer in interaction with a heterogeneous interface. In this paper, we focus on two models where the inhomogeneities at the interface are not independent but given…

We study the so-called pinning model, which describes the behavior of a Markov chain interacting with a distinguished state. The interaction depends on an external source of randomness, called disorder, which can attract or repel the Markov…

We study a hierarchical disordered pinning model with site disorder for which, like in the bond disordered case [6, 9], there exists a value of a parameter b (enters in the definition of the hierarchical lattice) that separates an…

We consider disordered pinning models, when the return time distribution of the underlying renewal process has a polynomial tail with exponent $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$. This corresponds to a regime where disorder is known to be relevant, i.e.…

The effect of disorder for pinning models is a subject which has attracted much attention in theoretical physics and rigorous mathematical physics. A peculiar point of interest is the question of coincidence of the quenched and annealed…

This article investigates the effect for random pinning models of long range power-law decaying correlations in the environment. For a particular type of environment based on a renewal construction, we are able to sharply describe the phase…

We use a random pinning procedure to study amorphous order in two glassy spin models. On increasing the concentration of pinned spins at constant temperature, we find a sharp crossover (but no thermodynamic phase transition) from bulk…
