We prove that the chordal contour lines of the discrete Gaussian free field converge to forms of SLE(4). Specifically, there is a constant lambda > 0 such that when h is an interpolation of the discrete Gaussian free field on a Jordan…
We study the level lines of a Gaussian free field in a planar domain with general boundary data $F$. We show that the level lines exist as continuous curves under the assumption that $F$ is regulated (i.e., admits left and right limits at…
Let $h$ be an instance of Gaussian Free Field in a planar domain. We study level lines of $h$ starting from boundary points. We show that the level lines are random continuous curves which are variants of SLE$_4$ path. We show that the…
We resolve a conjecture of Sheffield that $\SLE(4)$, a conformally invariant random curve, is the universal limit of the chordal zero-height contours of random surfaces with isotropic, uniformly convex potentials. Specifically, we study the…
The relation between level lines of Gaussian free fields (GFF) and SLE(4)-type curves was discovered by O. Schramm and S. Sheffield. A weak interpretation of this relation is the existence of a coupling of the GFF and a random curve, in…
The level lines of the Gaussian free field are known to be related to SLE(4). It is shown how this relation allows to define chordal SLE(4) processes on doubly connected domains, describing traces that are anchored on one of the two…
We point out a new simple way to couple the Gaussian Free Field (GFF) with free boundary conditions in a two-dimensional domain with the GFF with zero boundary conditions in the same domain: Starting from the latter, one just has to sample…
A self consistent field theory that describes a part of a contour loop of a random Gaussian surface as a trajectory interacting with itself is constructed. The exponent \nu characterizing the end to end distance is obtained by a Flory…
We study the massless field on $D_n = D \cap \tfrac{1}{n} \Z^2$, where $D \subseteq \R^2$ is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, with Hamiltonian $\CH(h) = \sum_{x \sim y} \CV(h(x) - h(y))$. The interaction $\CV$ is assumed to be…
We construct a family of measures for random fields based on the iterated subdivision of simple geometric shapes (triangles, squares, tetrahedrons) into a finite number of similar shapes. The intent is to construct continuum limits of scale…
We prove that if $\Omega$ is a simply connected quadrature domain for a distribution with compact support and the infinity point belongs the boundary, then the boundary has an asymptotic curve that is either a straight line or a parabola or…
We study level-set percolation of the Gaussian free field on the infinite $d$-regular tree for fixed $d\geq 3$. Denoting by $h_\star$ the critical value, we obtain the following results: for $h>h_\star$ we derive estimates on conditional…
We establish existence and uniqueness for Gaussian free field flow lines started at {\em interior} points of a planar domain. We interpret these as rays of a random geometry with imaginary curvature and describe the way distinct rays…
We investigate the realizations of a random Gaussian field on a finite domain of ${\mathbb R}^d$ in the limit where a given linear functional of the field is large. We prove that if its variance is bounded, the field converges uniformly and…
We prove that a random distribution in two dimensions which is conformally invariant and satisfies a natural domain Markov property is a multiple of the Gaussian free field. This result holds subject only to a fourth moment assumption.
We survey the properties of the log-correlated Gaussian field (LGF), which is a centered Gaussian random distribution (generalized function) $h$ on $\mathbb R^d$, defined up to a global additive constant. Its law is determined by the…
Fix constants \chi >0 and \theta \in [0,2\pi), and let h be an instance of the Gaussian free field on a planar domain. We study flow lines of the vector field e^{i(h/\chi+\theta)} starting at a fixed boundary point of the domain.…
In the optimal partial transport problem, one is asked to transport a fraction $0<m \leq \min\{||f||_{L^1}, ||g||_{L^1}\}$ of the mass of $f=f \chi_\Omega$ onto $g=g\chi_\Lambda$ while minimizing a transportation cost. If $f$ and $g$ are…
The random percolation model can be viewed as the dual of a well defined confining gauge theory; since this theory, having no Monte Carlo dynamics at all, is simple to simulate, it is possible to study the properties of the flux tube with…
We prove a Russo-Seymour-Welsch percolation theorem for nodal domains and nodal lines associated to a natural infinite dimensional space of real analytic functions on the real plane. More precisely, let $U$ be a smooth connected bounded…
