We consider directed percolation processes for particle types A and B coupled unidirectionally by a transmutation reaction A -> B. It is shown that the strong coupling regime of this recently introduced problem defines a universality class…
A directed polymer is allowed to branch, with configurations determined by global energy optimization and disorder. A finite size scaling analysis in 2D shows that, if disorder makes branching more and more favorable, a critical transition…
We study the scaling properties of polymers in a d-dimensional medium with quenched defects that have power law correlations ~r^{-a} for large separations r. This type of disorder is known to be relevant for magnetic phase transitions. We…
We study directed polymers subject to a quenched random potential in d transversal dimensions. This system is closely related to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation of nonlinear stochastic growth. By a careful analysis of the perturbation…
We study a class of reaction-diffusion model extrapolating continuously between the pure coagulation-diffusion case ($A+A\to A$) and the pure annihilation-diffusion one ($A+A\to\emptyset$) with particles input ($\emptyset\to A$) at a rate…
We consider the Random Walk Pinning Model studied in [3,2]: this is a random walk X on Z^d, whose law is modified by the exponential of \beta times L_N(X,Y), the collision local time up to time N with the (quenched) trajectory Y of another…
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 investigate the static critical behaviour of a uniaxial magnetic layer, with finite thickness L in one direction, yet infinitely extended in the remaining d dimensions. The magnetic dipole-dipole interaction is taken into account. We…
We study the polymer system consisting of two polymer chains situated in a fractal container that belongs to the three--dimensional Sierpinski Gasket (3D SG) family of fractals. Each 3D SG fractal has four fractal impenetrable 2D surfaces,…

We examine the statistics of conformations of a linear polymer in a solvent. The polymer is allowed to form double polymers. We closely follow a classical technique to derive a field theory for the problem from an $O\left(n\right)$…
In long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $\alpha>0$ is fixed and $\beta \geq 0$ is a parameter. As $d$ and $\alpha$ vary, the model…
