Localization of Elastic Layers by Correlated Disorder
Leon Balents
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model…

Large N Expansion for 4-Epsilon Dimensional Oriented Manifolds in Random Media
Leon Balents, Daniel S. Fisher
The equilibrium statistical mechanics of a d dimensional ``oriented'' manifold in an N+d dimensional random medium are analyzed in d=4-epsilon dimensions. For N=1, this problem des…

Delocalization of Flux Lines from Extended Defects by Bulk Randomness
Leon Balents, Mehran Kardar
We study the delocalization by bulk randomness of a single flux line (FL) from an extended defect, such as a columnar pin or twin plane. In three dimensions, the FL is always bound…
