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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-21T13:58:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "60K37", "82B27", "82B44" ], "keywords": [ "harris criterion", "stable environment", "pinning model", "critical point", "decide disorder relevance" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
