Abstract

For an arbitrary dimension nn, we study: (a) the Polyharmonic Gaussian Field hLh_L on the discrete torus TLn=1LZn/Zn\mathbb{T}^n_L = \frac{1}{L} \mathbb{Z}^{n} / \mathbb{Z}^{n}, that is the random field whose law on RTLn\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{T}^{n}_{L}} given by \begin{equation*} c_n\, e^{-b_n\|(-\Delta_L)^{n/4}h\|^2} dh, \end{equation*} where dhdh is the Lebesgue measure and ΔL\Delta_{L} is the discrete Laplacian; (b) the associated discrete Liouville Quantum Gravity measure associated with it, that is the random measure on TLn\mathbb{T}^{n}_{L} \begin{equation*}\mu_{L}(dz) = \exp \Big( \gamma h_L(z) - \frac{\gamma^{2}}{2} \mathbf{E} h_{L}(z) \Big) dz,\end{equation*} where γ\gamma is a regularity parameter. As LL\to\infty, we prove convergence of the fields hLh_L to the Polyharmonic Gaussian Field hh on the continuous torus Tn=Rn/Zn\mathbb{T}^n = \mathbb{R}^{n} / \mathbb{Z}^{n}, as well as convergence of the random measures μL\mu_L to the LQG measure μ\mu on Tn\mathbb{T}^n, for all γ<2n|\gamma| < \sqrt{2n}.
