The competing effect of a periodic pinning potential and random point disorder is studied for arrays of elastic lines or directed polymers. The groundstates are investigated by exact combinatorial optimization. In both two and three…

We study discrete statistical mechanics systems perturbed by a random environment without a finite second moment. Specifically, we consider a random environment whose tail distribution satisfies $P[\omega > x] \sim x^{-\gamma}$ as $x \to…

We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particular site 0. We assume that probability of an excursion of…

We examine the effect of disorder on the electromagnetic response of quantum Hall stripes using an effective elastic theory to describe their low-energy dynamics, and replicas and the Gaussian variational method to handle disorder effects.…

The Poland--Scheraga model, introduced in the 1970's, is a reference model to describe the denaturation transition of DNA. More recently, it has been generalized in order to allow for asymmetry in the strands lengths and in the formation of…

We use a random pinning procedure to study amorphous order in two glassy spin models. On increasing the concentration of pinned spins at constant temperature, we find a sharp crossover (but no thermodynamic phase transition) from bulk…

This paper focuses on directed polymers pinned at a disordered and correlated interface. We assume that the disorder sequence is a q-order moving average and show that the critical curve of the annealed model can be expressed in terms of…

We consider the continuous time version of the Random Walk Pinning Model (RWPM), studied in [5,6,7]. Given a fixed realization of a random walk Y$ on Z^d with jump rate rho (that plays the role of the random medium), we modify the law of a…

We study the dimer model on the square grid, with quenched random edge weights. Randomness is chosen to have a layered structure, similar to that of the celebrated McCoy-Wu disordered Ising model. Disorder has a highly non-trivial effect…

We introduce and study a model which admits a complex landscape without containing quenched disorder. Continuing our previous investigation we introduce a disordered model which allows us to reconstruct all the main features of the original…

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…

The random disorder can drastically change the melting scenario of two-dimensional systems and has to be taken into account in the interpretation of the experimental results. We present the results of the molecular dynamics simulations of…

We consider the Lattice Gaussian free field in $d+1$ dimensions, $d=3$ or larger, on a large box (linear size $N$) with boundary conditions zero. On this field two potentials are acting: one, that models the presence of a wall, penalizes…

We consider a random field $\varphi:\{1,...,N\}\to \mathbb{R}$ with Laplacian interaction of the form $\sum_iV(\Delta\varphi_i)$, where $\Delta$ is the discrete Laplacian and the potential $V(\cdot)$ is symmetric and uniformly strictly…

We present a numerical study on the ordering dynamics of a one-dimensional nonequilibrium Ising spin system with chirality. This system is characterized by a direction-dependent spin update rule. Pairs of $+-$ spins can flip to $++$ or $--$…

We consider the problem of identifying whether findings replicate from one study of high dimension to another, when the primary study guides the selection of hypotheses to be examined in the follow-up study as well as when there is no…

The reduced density matrix of many-body systems possessing an additive conserved quantity can be decomposed in orthogonal sectors which can be independently analyzed. Recently, these have been proven to equally contribute to entanglement…

We discuss a disordered $\lambda\varphi^{4}+\rho\varphi^{6}$ Landau-Ginzburg model defined in a d-dimensional space. First we adopt the standard procedure of averaging the disorder dependent free energy of the model. The dominant…

We consider a random field $\varphi:\{1,...,N\}\to\mathbb{R}$ as a model for a linear chain attracted to the defect line $\varphi=0$, that is, the x-axis. The free law of the field is specified by the density…

We define a replica field theory describing finite dimensional site disordered spin systems by introducing the notion of grand canonical disorder, where the number of spins in the system is random but quenched. A general analysis of this…
