## Scaling limits of ($$1+1$$)-dimensional pinning models with Laplacian interaction.(English)Zbl 1185.60106

The paper deals with a discrete random field with discrete Laplacian interaction and symmetrical, uniformly strictly convex potential. The pinning model is defined by giving the field nonnegative reward each time it touches the $$x$$-axis, that plays the role of a defect line. By using approach based on Markov renewal theory, authors give a precise pathwise description, extracting the full scaling limits of the model.
