Abstract: Any renewal processes on mathbbN with a polynomial tail, with exponent alphain(0,1), has a non-trivial scaling limit, known as the alpha-stable regenerative set. In this paper we consider Gibbs transformations of such renewal processes in an i.i.d. random environment, called disordered pinning models. We show that for alphain(1/2,1) these models have a universal scaling limit, which we call the continuum disordered pinning model (CDPM). This is a random closed subset of mathbbR in a white noise random environment, with subtle features: -Any fixed a.s. property of the alpha-stable regenerative set (e.g., its Hausdorff dimension) is also an a.s. property of the CDPM, for almost every realization of the environment. -Nonetheless, the law of the CDPM is singular with respect to the law of the alpha-stable regenerative set, for almost every realization of the environment. The existence of a disordered continuum model, such as the CDPM, is a manifestation of disorder relevance for pinning models with alphain(1/2,1).
