We consider models of directed random polymers interacting with a defect line, which are known to undergo a pinning/depinning (or localization/delocalization) phase transition. We are interested in critical properties and we prove, in…
We consider the low-temperature $T<T_c$ disorder-dominated phase of the directed polymer in a random potentiel in dimension 1+1 (where $T_c=\infty$) and 1+3 (where $T_c<\infty$). To characterize the localization properties of the polymer of…
These notes are devoted to the statistical mechanics of directed polymers interacting with one-dimensional spatial defects. We are interested in particular in the situation where frozen disorder is present. These polymer models undergo a…
Random multifractals occur in particular at critical points of disordered systems. For Anderson localization transitions, Mirlin and Evers [PRB 62,7920 (2000)] have proposed the following scenario (a) the Inverse Participation Ratios…
In contrast to finite dimensions where disordered systems display multifractal statistics only at criticality, the tree geometry induces multifractal statistics for disordered systems also off criticality. For the Anderson tight-binding…
Disordered systems present multifractal properties at criticality. In particular, as discovered by Ludwig (A.W.W. Ludwig, Nucl. Phys. B 330, 639 (1990)) on the case of diluted two-dimensional Potts model, the moments $\bar{\rho^q(r)}$ of…
The directed polymer in a 1+3 dimensional random medium is known to present a disorder-induced phase transition. For a polymer of length $L$, the high temperature phase is characterized by a diffusive behavior for the end-point displacement…
We study a classical model of thermally fluctuating polymers confined to two dimensions, experiencing a grooved periodic potential, and subject to pulling forces both along and transverse to the grooves. The equilibrium polymer…

We consider a one-dimensional directed polymer in a random potential which is characterized by the Gaussian statistics with the finite size local correlations. It is shown that the well-known Kardar's solution obtained originally for a…
We study the model of Directed Polymers in Random Environment in 1+1 dimensions, where the distribution at a site has a tail which decays regularly polynomially with power \alpha, where \alpha \in (0,2). After proper scaling of temperature…
In these proceedings, we first summarize some general properties of phase transitions in the presence of quenched disorder, with emphasis on the following points: the need to distinguish typical and averaged correlations, the possible…
We consider two models for directed polymers in space-time independent random media (the O'Connell-Yor semi-discrete directed polymer and the continuum directed random polymer) at positive temperature and prove their KPZ universality via…
We use multifractal finite-size scaling to perform a high-precision numerical study of the critical properties of the Anderson localization-delocalization transition in the unitary symmetry class, considering the Anderson model including a…
In dimension $d \geq 3$, the directed polymer in a random medium undergoes a phase transition between a free phase and a disorder dominated phase. For the latter, Fisher and Huse have proposed a droplet theory based on the scaling of the…
The scaling behavior of a directed polymer in a two-dimensional (2D) random potential under confining force is investigated. The energy of a polymer with configuration $\{y(x)\}$ is given by $H\big(\{y(x)\}\big) = \sum_{x=1}^N \exyx +…
We consider the critical point of two mean-field disordered models : (i) the Random Energy Model (REM), introduced by Derrida as a mean-field spin-glass model of $N$ spins (ii) the Directed Polymer of length $N$ on a Cayley Tree (DPCT) with…
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 study the directed polymer model in dimension ${1+1}$ when the environment is heavy-tailed, with a decay exponent $\alpha\in(0,2)$. We give all possible scaling limits of the model in the weak-coupling regime, i.e., when the inverse…
