The disorder $(V_n)$ is a fixed realization of an i.i.d. sequence. The polymer is pinned, i.e. the chain spends a positive fraction of its time at state 0, when $u$ exceeds a critical value. We assume that for the Markov chain in the absence of the potential, the probability of an excursion from 0 of length $n$ has the form $n^{-c}\\phi(n)$ with $c \\geq 1$ and $\\phi$ slowly varying.
