Wetting of gradient fields: pathwise estimates

Probability 2011-08-25 v4 Mathematical Physics math.MP

Abstract

We consider the wetting transition in the framework of an effective interface model of gradient type, in dimension 2 and higher. We prove pathwise estimates showing that the interface is localized in the whole thermodynamically-defined partial wetting regime considered in earlier works. Moreover, we study how the interface delocalizes as the wetting transition is approached. Our main tool is reflection positivity in the form of the chessboard estimate.
