Overview In the previous lectures we focused on systems that are disorder relevant (in particular DPRE with d = 1 and Pinning model with α > 1 2 ) ◮ We constructed continuum partition functions Z W ◮ We used Z W to build continuum disordered models P W ◮ We used Z W to get estimates on the free energy F ( β, h ) In this last lecture we consider the subtle marginally relevant regime (in particular DPRE with d = 2, Pinning model with α = 1 2 , 2d SHE) We present some results on the the continuum partition function Francesco Caravenna Scaling Limits of Disordered Systems March 7-11, 2016 2 / 17

The marginal case We consider simultaneously different models that are marginally relevant: ◮ Pinning Models with α = 1 2 ◮ DPRE with d = 2 (RW attracted to BM) ◮ Stochastic Heat Equation in d = 2 ◮ DPRE with d = 1 (RW with Cauchy tails: P( | S 1 | > n ) ∼ c n All these different models share a crucial feature: logarithmic overlap  � P ref ( n ∈ τ ) 2    1 ≤ n ≤ N  R N = ∼ C log N � � P ref ( S n = x ) 2     1 ≤ n ≤ N x ∈ Z d For simplicity, we will perform our computations on the pinning model Francesco Caravenna Scaling Limits of Disordered Systems March 7-11, 2016 3 / 17
