We study, beyond the Gaussian approximation, the decay of the translational order correlation function for a d-dimensional scalar periodic elastic system in a disordered environment. We develop a method based on functional determinants, equivalent to summing an infinite set of diagrams. We obtain, in dimension , the even n-th cumulant of relative displacements as }^{\text{c}}\simeq {\cal A}_n \ln r$ ?> with , as well as the multifractal dimension xq of the exponential field . As a corollary, we…

Spin- and Pair-Density-Wave Glasses
Spontaneous breaking of translational symmetry---known as `density wave' order---is common in nature. However such states are strongly sensitive to impurities or other forms of frozen disorder…
On functional determinants of matrix differential operators with multiple zero modes
We generalize the method of computing functional determinants with a single excluded zero eigenvalue developed by McKane and Tarlie to differential operators with multiple zero eigenvalues. We derive…

Higher correlations, universal distributions, and finite size scaling in the field theory of depinning.
TLDR
A renormalizable field theory up to two loops for the quasistatic depinning of elastic manifolds in a disordered environment is constructed and it is shown how higher correlation functions of the displacement field can be computed.
Functional renormalization group and the field theory of disordered elastic systems.
TLDR
This work examines several routes out of this dilemma, which lead to a unique renormalizable field theory at two-loop order, and clarifies the dependence of universal amplitudes on the boundary conditions at large scale.
Functional Renormalization for Disordered Systems. Basic Recipes and Gourmet Dishes
We give a pedagogical introduction into the functional renormalization group treatment of disordered systems. After a review of its phenomenology, we show why in the context of disordered systems a…
Exact multilocal renormalization group and applications to disordered problems.
TLDR
The EMRG method is well-suited to problems such as the pinning of disordered elastic systems, previously described via functional renormalization group (FRG) approach based on a hard cutoff scheme, and the application to the FRG problem is sketched.
Measuring functional renormalization group fixed-point functions for pinned manifolds.
TLDR
Exact numerical minimization of interface energies is used to test the functional renormalization group analysis for interfaces pinned by quenched disorder and a linear cusp in R''(u) is confirmed for random bond, random field, and periodic disorders.
Simulation of the zero-temperature behavior of a three-dimensional elastic medium
We have performed numerical simulation of a 3-dimensional elastic medium, with scalar displacements, subject to quenched disorder. We applied an efficient combinatorial optimization algorithm to…
Finite-temperature functional RG, droplets and decaying Burgers turbulence
– The functional RG (FRG) approach to pinning of d-dimensional manifolds is reexamined at any temperature T . A simple relation between the coupling function R(u) and a physical observable is shown…
Glass transition of a particle in a random potential, front selection in nonlinear renormalization group, and entropic phenomena in Liouville and sinh-Gordon models.
TLDR
Applications to Dirac fermions in random magnetic fields at criticality reveal a peculiar "quasilocalized" regime (corresponding to the glass phase for the particle), where eigenfunctions are concentrated over a finite number of distant regions, and allow us to recover the multifractal spectrum in the delocalized regime.
Numerical Calculation of the Functional renormalization group fixed-point functions at the depinning transition
Universality is often more difficult to characterize in random systems than in their pure counterparts. Sampleto-sample fluctuations complicate the analysis and the nature of the critical theory may…
Exact calculation of multifractal exponents of the critical wave function of Dirac fermions in a random magnetic field
The multifractal scaling exponents are calculated for the critical wave function of a two-dimensional Dirac fermion in the presence of a random magnetic field. It is shown that the problem of…
