We consider the random wetting transition on the Cayley tree, i.e. the problem of a directed polymer on the Cayley tree in the presence of random energies along the left-most bonds. In the pure case, there exists a first-order transition…
Our study connects the physics of disordered integer-dimensional systems and regular self-similar objects by studying spectral properties of fractal agglomerates with tunable dimension. The latter is controlled by parameter $\alpha$ of the…
We consider $(1+1)$-dimensional directed polymers in a random potential and provide sufficient conditions guaranteeing joint localization. Joint localization means that for typical realizations of the environment, and for polymers started…
We investigate the localization transition for a simple model of interface which interacts with an inhomonegeous defect plane. The interface is modeled by the graph of a function $\phi: \mathbb Z^2 \to \mathbb Z$,and the disorder is given…
We consider paths of a one-dimensional simple random walk conditioned to come back to the origin after L steps (L an even integer). In the 'pinning model' each path \eta has a weight \lambda^{N(\eta)}, where \lambda>0 and N(\eta) is the…
The generalization of the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation for the description of transport in strongly disordered systems replaces the symmetry parameter $\beta$ by a new parameter $\gamma$, which decreases to zero when the disorder…
We report a molecular dynamics study of ab initio quality of the ferroelectric phase transition in crystalline PbTiO3. We model anharmonicity accurately in terms of potential energy and polarization surfaces trained on density functional…
We report numerical results for the phase diagram in the density-disorder plane of a hard sphere system in the presence of quenched, random, pinning disorder. Local minima of a discretized version of the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff free energy…
We suggest that if a localized phase at nonzero temperature $T>0$ exists for strongly disordered and weakly interacting electrons, as recently argued, it will also occur when both disorder and interactions are strong and $T$ is very high.…
We investigate the long time behavior of a wavepacket initially localized at a single site $n_0$ in translationally invariant harmonic and anharmonic chains with random interactions. In the harmonic case, the energy profile $ \bar{<…
Using an exact mapping to disordered Coulomb gases, we introduce a novel method to study two dimensional Dirac fermions with quenched disorder in two dimensions which allows to treat non perturbative freezing phenomena. For purely random…
In the present work, we investigated the correlation-induced localization-delocalization transition in the one-dimensional tight-binding model with fractal disorder. We obtained a phase transition diagram from localized to extended states…
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…
We demonstrate that local density of states fluctuations in disordered Anderson lattice models universally lead to the emergence of non-Fermi liquid (NFL) behavior. The NFL regime appears at moderate disorder (W = W_c) and is characterized…
A characterization of textured patterns, referred to as the disorder function \bar\delta(\beta), is used to study properties of patterns generated in the Swift-Hohenberg equation (SHE). It is shown to be an intensive,…
Phase transitions in disordered systems can be smeared if rare spatial regions develop true static order while the bulk system is in the disordered phase. Here, we study the effects of spatial disorder correlations on such smeared phase…
We study the behavior of the elastic polymer, a model of a directed polymer in a continuous Gaussian random environment that is independent in time and correlated in space, as the dimension of the environment is taken to infinity. We give…
The thermodynamic formalism expresses chaotic properties of dynamical systems in terms of the Ruelle pressure $\psi(\beta)$. The inverse-temperature like variable $\beta$ allows one to scan the structure of the probability distribution in…
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…
We show that non-interacting disordered electrons on a Bethe lattice display a new intermediate phase which is delocalized but non-ergodic, i.e. it is characterized by Poisson instead of GOE statistics. The physical signature of this phase…
