Using the Wilson formulation of lattice gauge theories, a gauge invariant grid discretization of a one-particle Hamiltonian in the presence of an external electromagnetic field is proposed. This Hamiltonian is compared both with that…

Gaussian random field on general ultrametric space is introduced as a solution of pseudodifferential stochastic equation. Covariation of the introduced random field is computed with the help of wavelet analysis on ultrametric spaces. Notion…

For the field $\mathbb{K} = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, and an integrable distribution $F \subseteq T_M \otimes_{\mathbb{R}} \mathbb{K}$ on a smooth manifold $M$, we study the Hochschild cohomology of the dg manifold $(F[1],d_F)$ and…

Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…

We estimate the probability that the discrete Gaussian free field on a planar domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions stays positive in the bulk. Improving upon the result by Bolthausen, Deuschel and Giacomin from 2001, we derive the…

This paper is concerned with sample path properties of isotropic Gaussian fields on compact two-point homogeneous spaces. In particular, we establish the property of strong local nondeterminism of an isotropic Gaussian field based on the…

We prove that under certain mild moment and continuity assumptions, the $d$-dimensional Gaussian free field is the only stochastic process in $d\geq 2$ that is translation invariant, exhibits a certain scaling, and satisfies the usual…

We study the one-arm probability in the level-set percolation of the discrete and metric-graph Gaussian free field (GFF) defined on a box with Dirichlet boundary conditions. For the metric-graph case, we establish asymptotic estimates on…

We investigate level sets of the Gaussian free field on continuous transient metric graphs $\tilde{\mathcal G}$ and study the capacity of its level set clusters. We prove, without any further assumption on the base graph $\mathcal{G}$, that…

We derive a continuum model for incompatible elasticity as a variational limit of a family of discrete nearest-neighbor elastic models. The discrete models are based on discretizations of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,\mathfrak{g})$,…

We argue that the spectrally cut-off Gaussian free field $\Phi_\Lambda$ on a compact Riemannian manifold or on $\mathbb{R}^n$ cannot satisfy the spatial Markov property. Moreover, when the manifold is reflection positive, we show that…

We study the discrete Gaussian free field (harmonic crystal) on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d\geq 3$, with uniformly elliptic and bounded random conductances sampled according to a sufficiently mixing environment measure. We consider the hard wall…

We consider the maximum of the discrete two dimensional Gaussian free field in a box, and prove the existence of a (dense) deterministic subsequence along which the maximum, centered at its mean, is tight; this still leaves open the…

Based on a local approximation of the Riemannian distance on a manifold by a computationally cheap dissimilarity measure, a time discrete geodesic calculus is developed, and applications to shape space are explored. The dissimilarity…

A discrete field formalism exposes the physical meaning and origins of gauge fields, their symmetries and singularities. They represent a lack of a stricter field-source coherence.

In this article we study the relation between flat solvmanifolds and $G_2$-geometry. First, we give a classification of 7-dimensional flat splittable solvmanifolds using the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$…

In this technical note we give a purely geometric understanding of discrete torsion, as an analogue of orbifold Wilson lines for two-form tensor field potentials. In order to introduce discrete torsion in this context, we describe gerbes…

We study F-Theory compactifications to four dimensions that exhibit discrete gauge symmetries. Geometrically these arise by deforming elliptic fibrations with two sections to a genus-one fibration with a bi-section. From a four-dimensional…

In the present paper, we show that on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ of dimension $d\leqslant 4$ whose metric has negative curvature, the renormalized partition function $Z_g(\lambda)$ of a massive Gaussian Free Field determines the…

We present a new regularisation of Euclidean Einstein gravity in terms of (sequences of) graphs. In particular, we define a discrete Einstein-Hilbert action that converges to its manifold counterpart on sufficiently dense random geometric…
