Gaussian fluctuations for the classical XY model

Abstract

We study the classical XY model in bounded domains of Zd\mathbb{Z}^{d} with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove that when the temperature goes to zero faster than a certain rate as the lattice spacing goes to zero, the fluctuation field converges to a standard Gaussian white noise. This and related results also apply to a large class of gradient field models.
