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 $alphain(1/2,1)$.

Review text

The inspiration for the present research comes from the applied theory (physics and biology) of directed polymers in random environment and general random polymer models [\textit{G. Giacomin}, Random polymer models. Hackensack, NJ: World Scientific (2007; Zbl 1125.82001)]. There, disorder and critical phenomena have been addressed with the aid of basic probability tools. In particular, the disordered pinning models were defined via a Gibbs change of the measure of a renewal process, depending on an external i.i.d. random environment. In the present paper, a continuum disordered pinning model (CDPM) is introduced (strictly speaking it derives from a properly conditioned version of the disordered pinning model, known to be related to a renewal process). Any involved renewal process with a polynomial tail with exponent \(\alpha \in (0,1)\) has a nontrivial scaling limit (convergence in distribution), known as the \(\alpha \)-stable regenerative set. It is found that the CDPM arises via a universal scaling limit that exists for \(\alpha \in (1/2,1)\). This indicates the disorder relevance for pinning models with such an \(\alpha \) and stays in correspondence with analogous observations for the directed polymer in random environment [\textit{T. Alberts} et al., J. Stat. Phys. 154, No. 1--2, 305--326 (2014; Zbl 1291.82143)]. The obtained random probability law is not absolutely continuous with respect to the reference probability law of the renewal process. To the contrary, the continuum model in the range \(\alpha \in (0, 1/2)\) is not disordered (it is purely deterministic), and the absolute continuity property holds true. Links of the theory with that of phase transitions in the weak disorder regime are mentioned. These refer, e.g., to the asymptotic behavior of the free energy and the critical curve of discrete pinning models.
