Abstract: We study how the typical gradient and typical height of a random surface are modified by the addition of quenched disorder in the form of a random independent external field. The results provide quantitative estimates, sharp up to multiplicative constants, in the following cases. It is shown that for real-valued disordered random surfaces of the $ablaphi$ type with a uniformly convex interaction potential: (i) The gradient of the surface delocalizes in dimensions $1ledle2$ and localizes in dimensions $dge3$. (ii) The surface delocalizes in dimensions $1ledle4$ and localizes in dimensions $dge5$. It is further shown that for the integer-valued disordered Gaussian free field: (i) The gradient of the surface delocalizes in dimensions $d=1,2$ and localizes in dimensions $dge3$. (ii) The surface delocalizes in dimensions $d=1,2$. (iii) The surface localizes in dimensions $dge3$ at weak disorder strength. The behavior in dimensions $dge3$ at strong disorder is left open. The proofs rely on several tools: explicit identities satisfied by the expectation of the random surface, the Efron--Stein concentration inequality, a coupling argument for Langevin dynamics (originally due to Funaki and Spohn) and the Nash--Aronson estimate.
