In this paper, we study the Villain model in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in dimension $d\geq 3$. It is conjectured, that the parallel correlation function in the infinite volume Gibbs state, i.e., the map $$ x \mapsto \langle \cos\theta(0) \cos\theta(x)…

4D Einstein gravity coupled to scalars and abelian gauge fields in its 2-Killing vector reduction is shown to be quasi-renormalizable to all loop orders at the expense of introducing infinitely many essential couplings. The latter can be…
We consider the convolution equation $(\delta - J) * G = g$ on $\mathbb R^d$, $d>2$, where $\delta$ is the Dirac delta function and $J,g$ are given functions. We provide conditions on $J, g$ that ensure the deconvolution $G(x)$ to decay as…
