Random media are natural models for non homogeneous materials which possess some kind of statistical regularity. The study of stochastic processes in random media is currently an active field of research, and new techniques have recently been developed, including mathematical forms of renormalization. Those techniques apply to models which are much more delicate than exactly soluble ones, or even reversible ones. The session “États de la Recherche”, which has been held at CIRM in Marseille in November 2000, aimed at presenting the state of the art in the field, and at exposing it to a large fraction of the scientific community. Based on the notes of the courses delivered during the session, this volume is composed of five articles, and a general introduction, where all basic notions from probability theory, used in the articles, are defined. The introduction and the style of the articles should make the volume readable by non specialists.
