Abstract: We continue the study, initiated in [Giacomin and Lacoin, JEMS 2018], of the localization transition of a lattice free field phi=(phi(x))xinZd, dge3, in presence of a quenched disordered substrate. The presence of the substrate affects the interface at the spatial sites in which the interface height is close to zero. This corresponds to the Hamiltonian sum_{xin Z^d }(�eta omega_x+h)delta_x, where deltax=1[1,1](phi(x)), and (omegax)xinZd is an IID centered field. A transition takes place when the average pinning potential h goes past a threshold : from a delocalized phase , where the field is macroscopically repelled by the substrate, to a localized one where the field sticks to the substrate. In [Giacomin and Lacoin, JEMS 2018] the critical value of h is identified and it coincides, up to the sign, with the log-Laplace transform of omega=omegax, that is . Here we obtain the sharp critical behavior of the free energy approaching criticality: lim_{usearrow 0} frac{ F(�eta,h_c(�eta)+u)}{u^2}= frac{1}{2, extrm{Var}left(e^{�eta omega-lambda(�eta)} ight)}. Moreover, we give a precise description of the trajectories of the field in the same regime: the absolute value of the field is to leading order when except on a vanishing fraction of sites (sigmad2 is the single site variance of the free field).
