To describe the non-equilibrium dynamics of random systems, we have recently introduced (C. Monthus and T. Garel, arxiv:0802.2502) a 'strong disorder renormalization' (RG) procedure in configuration space that can be defined for any master…
We study a random circuit model of constrained fracton dynamics, in which particles on a one-dimensional lattice undergo random local motion subject to both charge and dipole moment conservation. The configuration space of this system…
We study a D-dimensional interface driven in a disordered medium. We derive finite temperature and velocity functional renormalization group (FRG) equations, valid in a 4-D expansion. These equations allow in principle for a complete study…
The pinning of flux lattices by weak impurity disorder is studied in the absence of free dislocations using both the gaussian variational method and, to $O(\epsilon=4-d)$, the functional renormalization group. We find universal logarithmic…
