Wandering of a contact line at thermal equilibrium.

We reconsider the problem of the solid-liquid-vapor contact-line on a disordered substrate, in the collective pinning regime. We perform a replica variational calculation which confirms the scaling behavior obtained from Larkin-Imry-Ma-like arguments and provides a quantitative prediction for the correlation function of the line. This prediction is in good agreement with experimental findings for the case of superfluid helium on a caesium substrate.
