The authors discuss a set of geometric ideas which shed some light on the question of directed polymer pinning in the presence of bulk disorder. Differing from standard methods and techniques, we transform the problem to a particular dependent percolation system and relate the pinning transition to a percolation transition.For the entire collection see [Zbl 1113.60008].
