We study the field theories for pinned elastic systems at equilibrium and at depinning. Their $\beta$-functions differ to two loops by novel ``anomalous'' terms. At equilibrium we find a roughness $\zeta=0.20829804 \epsilon + 0.006858…

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…
