Massive and massless Gaussian free fields can be described as generalized Gaussian processes indexed by an appropriate space of functions. In this article we study various approaches to approximate these fields and look at the fractal…
Let $U\subseteq\mathbf{C}$ be a bounded domain with smooth boundary and let $F$ be an instance of the continuum Gaussian free field on $U$ with respect to the Dirichlet inner product $\int_U\nabla f(x)\cdot \nabla g(x)\,dx$. The set…
This work aims to extend part of the two dimensional results of Duplantier and Sheffield on Liouville quantum gravity to four dimensions, and indicate possible extensions to other even-dimensional spaces R^(2n) as well as Riemannian…

In this notice we would like to study the fractal structure of the set of high points for the membrane model in the critical dimension d=4. We are able to compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points which are atypically high, and…
We show that the rescaled maximum of the discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in dimension larger or equal to 3 is in the maximal domain of attraction of the Gumbel distribution. The result holds both for the infinite-volume field as well as…
We consider the maximum of the discrete two dimensional Gaussian free field (GFF) in a box, and prove that its maximum, centered at its mean, is tight, settling a long-standing conjecture. The proof combines a recent observation of…
We prove that the set of thick points of the log-correlated Gaussian field contains an unbounded path in sufficiently high dimensions. This contrasts with the two-dimensional case, where Aru, Papon, and Powell (2023) showed that the set of…
We compute the intrinsic Hausdorff dimension of spacetime at the infrared fixed point of the quantum conformal factor in 4D gravity. The fractal dimension is defined by the appropriate covariant diffusion equation in four dimensions and is…
In four spacetime dimensions, the classically integrable self-dual sectors of gauge theory and gravity have associated chiral algebras, which emerge naturally from their description in twistor space. We show that there are similar chiral…
We find a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension that a Liouville Brownian motion spends in $\alpha$-thick points of the Gaussian Free Field, where $\alpha$ is not necessarily equal to the parameter used in the construction of the…
We search for alternatives to the trivial $\phi^4$ field theory by including arbitrary powers of the self-coupling. Such theories are renormalizable when the natural cutoff dependencies of the coupling constants are taken into account. We…
We set up an Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet theory in four dimensions, based on the recent formulation of pure gravity with extra dimensions of vanishing metrical length [1]. In absence of torsion, the effective field equations depend only on the…
A discussion of the number of degrees of freedom, and their dynamical properties, in higher derivative gravitational theories is presented. The complete non-linear sigma model for these degrees of freedom is exhibited using the method of…

We construct and analyze conformally invariant random fields on 4-dimensional Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$. These centered Gaussian fields $h$, called \emph{co-biharmonic Gaussian fields}, are characterized by their covariance kernels $k$…

We attempt to study three significant tests of general relativity in higher dimensions both in commutative and non-commutative spaces. In the context of non-commutative geometry, we will consider a solution of the Einstein equation in…
We prove that the set of $\gamma$-thick points of a planar Gaussian free field (GFF) with Dirichlet boundary conditions is a.s. totally disconnected for all $\gamma \neq 0$. Our proof relies on the coupling between a GFF and the nested…
