The maximum of log-correlated Gaussian fields in random environments

Probability 2022-05-17 v1

Abstract

We study the distribution of the maximum of a large class of Gaussian fields indexed by a box VNZdV_N\subset Z^d and possessing logarithmic correlations up to local defects that are sufficiently rare. Under appropriate assumptions that generalize those in Ding, Roy and Zeitouni (Annals Probab. (45) 2017, 3886-3928), we show that asymptotically, the centered maximum of the field has a randomly-shifted Gumbel distribution. We prove that the two dimensional Gaussian free field on a super-critical bond percolation cluster with pp close enough to 11, as well as the Gaussian free field in i.i.d. bounded conductances, fall under the assumptions of our general theorem.
