Abstract: We consider a model for a polymer chain interacting with a sequence of equispaced flat interfaces through a pinning potential. The intensity $deltainmathbbR$ of the pinning interaction is constant, while the interface spacing $T=T_N$ is allowed to vary with the size $N$ of the polymer. Our main result is the explicit determination of the scaling behavior of the model in the large $N$ limit, as a function of $(T_N{)}_N$ and for fixed $delta>0$. In particular, we show that a transition occurs at $T_N=O(logN)$. Our approach is based on renewal theory.
