Part of the book series: The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and Its Applications ((IMA,volume 7))

Abstract

The behavior of Ising models with disorder is considered at low temperature. We discuss the main ideas behind a proof of long-range order in three dimensions for the ground state of the Ising model in a random magnetic field. We comment also on the behavior of interfaces in random field and random bond problems.
