The continuous version of a fundamental result of Khinchin says that a half-infinite torus line in the unit square $[0,1]^2$ exhibits superdensity, which is a best form of time-quantitative density, if and only if the slope of the geodesic…
We study level-set percolation for Gaussian free fields on metric graphs. In two dimensions, we give an upper bound on the chemical distance between the two boundaries of a macroscopic annulus. Our bound holds with high probability…
We define a new family of similarity and distance measures on graphs, and explore their theoretical properties in comparison to conventional distance metrics. These measures are defined by the solution(s) to an optimization problem which…
Random fields in nature often have, to a good approximation, Gaussian characteristics. We present the mathematical framework for a new and simple method for investigating the non-Gaussian contributions, based on counting the maxima and…
We develop a perturbative expansion which allows the construction of non-abelian self-dual SU(2) Yang-Mills field configurations on the four-dimensional torus with topological charge 1/2. The expansion is performed around the constant field…
Consider the $(2+1)$D Discrete Gaussian (ZGFF, integer-valued Gaussian free field) model in an $L\times L$ box above a hard floor. Bricmont, El-Mellouki and Fr\"ohlich (1986) established that, at low enough temperature, this random surface…
This paper presents two new models of oriented texture, based on a new class of Gaussian fields, called locally anisotropic fractional Brownian fields, with prescribed local orientation at any point. These fields are a local version of a…
The Abelian Sandpile Model is a discrete diffusion process defined on graphs (Dhar \cite{DD90}, Dhar et al. \cite{DD95}) which serves as the standard model of \textit{self-organized criticality}. The transience class of a sandpile is…
For $\alpha \in (1,2)$ we consider the equation $\partial_t u = \Delta^{\alpha/2} u - r b \cdot \nabla u$, where $b$ is a divergence free singular vector field not necessarily belonging to the Kato class. We show that for sufficiently small…
This paper investigates fractional torsional rigidity on compact, connected metric graphs, a novel extension of the classical concept to nonlocal operators. The fractional torsional rigidity is defined as the $L^1$-norm of the fractional…
A four-dimensional Abelian gauge field can be coupled to a 3d CFT with a $U(1)$ symmetry living on a boundary. This coupling gives rise to a continuous family of boundary conformal field theories (BCFT) parametrized by the gauge coupling…
For any compact riemannian surface of genus three $(\Sigma,ds^2)$ Yang and Yau proved that the product of the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian $\lambda_1(ds^2)$ and the area $Area(ds^2)$ is bounded above by $24\pi$. In this paper we…
This paper is devoted to the asymptotic analysis of a fractional version of the Ginzburg-Landau equation in bounded domains, where the Laplacian is replaced by an integro-differential operator related to the square root Laplacian as defined…
In Puplinskaite and Surgailis (2014) we introduced the notion of scaling transition for stationary random fields $X$ on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ in terms of partial sums limits, or scaling limits, of $X$ over rectangles whose sides grow at possibly…
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 study gauge fixing via the standard local extremization algorithm for 2-dimensional $U(1)$. On a lattice with spherical topology $S^2$ where all copies are lattice artifacts, we find that the number of these 'Gribov' copies diverges in…
