Abstract: We study the pinning phase transition for discrete surface dynamics in random environments. A renormalization procedure is devised to prove that the interface moves with positive velocity under a finite size condition. This condition is then checked for different examples of microscopic dynamics to illustrate the flexibility of the method. We show in our examples the existence of a phase transition for various models, including high dimensional interfaces, dependent environments and environments with arbitrarily deep obstacles. Finally, our ballisticity criterion is proved to be valid up to the critical threshold for a Lipschitz interface model.

Review text

The authors propose a multi-scale renormalization procedure to study the dynamics of surfaces in a random environment. According to the main result, assuming that a certain finite size criterion is satisfied, the interface evolves with positive velocity. It is checked that this feasibility criterion holds in a large number of cases. Qualitatively speaking, this result means that, as the surface is evolving, deeper traps are encountered in various scales which locally block the interface dynamics.
