We consider the discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in scaled-up (square-lattice) versions of suitably regular continuum domains $D\subset\mathbb C$ and describe the scaling limit, including local structure, of the level sets at heights…
The d-dimensional Gaussian free field (GFF), also called the (Euclidean bosonic) massless free field, is a d-dimensional-time analog of Brownian motion. Just as Brownian motion is the limit of the simple random walk (when time and space are…
We define and study the Dirichlet fractional Gaussian fields on the Sierpinski gasket and show that they are limits of fractional discrete Gaussian fields defined on the sequence of canonical approximating graphs.
We present a novel way of constructing the Gaussian Free Field on a weighted graph via a dynamical expansion of the Green function along an expanding family of subgraphs. Along the way we obtain the discrete analogue of the classical…
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 study a generalization of the notion of Gaussian free field (GFF). Although the extension seems minor, we first show that a generalized GFF does not satisfy the spatial Markov property, unless it is a classical GFF. In stochastic…
In this paper we study the properties of the centered (norm of the) gradient squared of the discrete Gaussian free field in $U_{\epsilon}=U/\epsilon\cap \mathbb{Z}^d$, $U\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ and $d\geq 2$. The covariance structure of the…
Given a planar graph derived from a spherical, euclidean or hyperbolic tessellation, one can define a discrete curvature by combinatorial properties, which after embedding the graph in a compact 2d-manifold, becomes the Gaussian curvature.
We study how small a local set of the continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) in dimension $d$ has to be to ensure that this set is thin, which loosely speaking means that it captures no GFF mass on itself, in other words, that the field…
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…
The Gaussian Free Field (GFF) is a canonical random surface in probability theory generalizing Brownian motion to higher dimensions. In two dimensions, it is critical in several senses, and is expected to be the universal scaling limit of a…
We discuss a class of discrete Gaussian free fields on Hamming graphs, where interactions are determined solely by the Hamming distance between vertices. The purpose of examining this class is that it differs significantly from the commonly…
To connect conformal field theories (CFT) to probabilistic lattice models, recent works [HKV22, Ada23] have introduced a novel definition of local fields of the lattice models. Local fields in this picture are probabilistically concrete:…
We prove that the phase transition for the Gaussian free field (GFF) is sharp. In comparison to a previous argument due to Rodriguez in 2017 which characterized a $0-1$ law for the Massive Gaussian Free Field by analyzing crossing…
We begin with isotropic Gaussian random fields, and show how the Bochner-Godement theorem gives a natural way to describe their covariance structure. We continue with a study of Mat\'ern processes on Euclidean space, spheres, manifolds and…
We consider discrete Gaussian free fields with ergodic random conductances on a class of random subgraphs of $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$, $d \geq 2$, including i.i.d.\ supercritical percolation clusters, where the conductances are possibly unbounded…
A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…
We compare level-set percolation for Gaussian free fields (GFFs) defined on a rectangular subset of $\delta \mathbb{Z}^2$ to level-set percolation for GFFs defined on the corresponding metric graph as the mesh size $\delta$ goes to 0. In…
This work is concerned with fractional Gaussian fields, i.e. Gaussian fields whose covariance operator is given by the inverse fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^{-s}$ (where, in particular, we include the case $s >1$). We define a lattice…
We consider the Discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in domains $D_N\subseteq\mathbb Z^2$ arising, via scaling by $N$, from nice domains $D\subseteq\mathbb R^2$. We study the statistics of the values order $\sqrt{\log N}$ below the absolute…
