Abstract

We investigate disorder relevance for the pinning of a renewal whose inter-arrival law has tail exponent $\alpha>0$ when the law of the random environment is in the domain of attraction of a stable law with parameter $\gamma \in (1,2)$. We prove that in this case, the effect of disorder is not decided by the sign of the specific heat exponent as predicted by Harris criterion but that a new criterion emerges to decide disorder relevance. More precisely we show that when $\alpha>1-\gamma^{-1}$ there is a shift of the critical point at every temperature whereas when $\alpha< 1-\gamma^{-1}$, at high temperature the quenched and annealed critical point coincide, and the critical exponents are identical.<br />Comment: 25 Pages
