We study the statistics of the extremes of a discrete Gaussian field with logarithmic correlations at the level of the Gibbs measure. The model is defined on the periodic interval $[0,1]$, and its correlation structure is nonhierarchical.…
We develop a new robust technique to deduce variance principles for non-integrable discrete systems. To illustrate this technique, we show the existence of a variational principle for graph homomorphisms from $\Z^m$ to a $d$-regular tree.…
We study how the typical gradient and typical height of a random surface are modified by the addition of quenched disorder in the form of a random independent external field. The results provide quantitative estimates, sharp up to…
Height-offset variables (HOVs) provide a mechanism, known as "pinning at infinity", to lift gradient Gibbs measures (GGMs) - describing interface increments - to proper Gibbs measures that describe absolute heights. Starting from…
We consider a gradient interface model on the lattice with interaction potential which is a nonconvex perturbation of a convex potential. Using a technique which decouples the neighboring vertices sites into even and odd vertices, we show…
In this paper, we prove a general result concerning finite-range, attractive interacting particle systems on $\{-1, 1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^d}$. If the particle system has a unique stationary measure and, in a precise sense, relaxes to this…
We study single-site stochastic and deterministic transforma- tions of one-dimensional Gibbs measures in the uniqueness regime with infinite-range interactions. We prove conservation of Gibbsianness and give quantitative estimates on the…
In the present paper we shall consider countable state $p$-adic Potts model on $Z_+$. A main aim is to establish the existence of the phase transition for the model. In our study, we essentially use one dimensionality of the model. To show…
We consider general classes of gradient models on regular trees with values in a countable Abelian group $S$ such as $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{Z}_q$, in regimes of strong coupling (or low temperature). This includes unbounded spin models…
We consider statistical mechanics models of continuous height effective interfaces in the presence of a delta-pinning at height zero. There is a detailed mathematical understanding of the depinning transition in 2 dimensions without…
Many problems of interest in computer science and information theory can be phrased in terms of a probability distribution over discrete variables associated to the vertices of a large (but finite) sparse graph. In recent years,…
We consider Glauber-type stochastic dynamics of continuous systems \cite{BCC02}, \cite{KL03}, a particular case of spatial birth-and-death processes. The dynamics is defined by a Markov generator in such a way that Gibbs measures of Ruelle…
In this paper, we study distance covariance, Hilbert-Schmidt covariance (aka Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion [Gretton et al. (2008)]) and related independence tests under the high dimensional scenario. We show that the sample…
In this paper, we focus on studying non-probability Gibbs measures for a Hard Core (HC) model on a Cayley tree of order $k\geq 2$, where the set of integers $\mathbb Z$ is the set of spin values. It is well-known that each Gibbs measure,…
We prove existence of infinite volume Gibbs measures relative to Brownian motion. We require the pair potential W to fulfill a uniform integrability condition, but otherwise our restrictions on the potentials are relatively weak. In…
Consider the radial nonlinear wave equation $-\partial_t^2 u + \Delta u = u^3$, $u :\mathbb{R}_t \times \mathbb{R}_x^3 \to \mathbb{R}$, $u(t,x) = u(t,|x|)$. In this paper, we construct a Gibbs measure for this system and prove its…
We consider stochastic dynamics of lattice systems with finite local state space, possibly at low temperature, and possibly non-reversible. We assume the additional regularity properties on the dynamics: a) There is at least one stationary…
We study the nonequilibrium properties of directed Ising models with non conserved dynamics, in which each spin is influenced by only a subset of its nearest neighbours. We treat the following models: (i) the one-dimensional chain; (ii) the…
We continue our study of the problem of mixing for a class of PDEs with very degenerate noise. As we established earlier, the uniqueness of stationary measure and its exponential stability in the dual-Lipschitz metric holds under the…
Distinct works have claimed that spatial (quenched) disorder can suppress the discontinuous absorbing phase transitions. Conversely, the scenario for temporal disorder for discontinuous absorbing phase transitions is unknown. In order to…
