We propose a generalization of Chiral Gravity, which follows from considering a Chern-Simons action for the spin connection with anti-symmetric contorsion. The theory corresponds to Topologically Massive Gravity at the chiral point…
We prove that the truncated correlation functions of the charge and gradient fields associated with the massless sine-Gordon model on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with $\beta=4\pi$ exist for all coupling constants and are equal to those of the chiral…
We unveil a remarkable connection between the sine-Gordon quantum field theory and the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) growth equation. We find that the non-relativistic limit of the two point correlation function of the sine-Gordon theory is…
We consider fluctuations in the distribution of critical points - saddle points, minima and maxima - of random gaussian fields. We calculate the asymptotic limits of the two point correlation function for various critical point densities,…
It is known that after an appropriate rescaling the maximum degree of the binomial random graph converges in distribution to a Gumbel random variable. The same holds true for the maximum number of common neighbours of a $k$-vertex set, and…

We prove the global well-posedness of the dynamical sine-Gordon model up to the third threshold, i.e., for parameters $\beta^2 < 6\pi$. The key novelty in our approach is the introduction of the so-called resonant equation, whose solution…
In a previous paper, the authors proved a conjecture of Lalley and Sellke that the empirical (time-averaged) distribution function of the maximum of branching Brownian motion converges almost surely to a Gumbel distribution. The result is…
We study the sine-Gordon quantum field theory at finite temperature by generalizing the method of random surfaces to compute the free energy and one-point functions of exponential operators non-perturbatively. Focusing on the gapped phase…
A local convergence rate is established for a Gauss orthogonal collocation method applied to optimal control problems with control constraints. If the Hamiltonian possesses a strong convexity property, then the theory yields convergence for…
We propose a modified gravitational action containing besides the Einstein-Cartan term some quadratic contributions resembling the Yang-Mills lagrangian for the Lorentz spin connections. We outline how a propagating torsion arises and we…
In this work, we investigate the extremal behaviour of left-stationary symmetric $\alpha$-stable (S$\alpha$S) random fields indexed by finitely generated free groups. We begin by studying the rate of growth of a sequence of partial maxima…
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…
Sine-Gordon field theory is used to investigate the phase diagram of a neutral Coulomb gas. A variational mean field free energy is constructed and the corresponding phase diagrams in two (2d) and three dimensions (3d) are obtained. When…
We consider the discrete Ginzburg-Landau field with potential satisfying a uniform convexity condition, in the critical dimension $d=2$, and prove that its maximum over boxes of sidelength $N$, centered by an explicit $N$-dependent…

In this article, we study the continuous correlations of the near-critical Ising model in two dimensions with plus boundary conditions, and prove that doubled correlation functions of primary fields (spin, disorder, fermions, energy) in the…
Let $X(t), t\in \mathcal{T}$ be a centered Gaussian random field with variance function $\sigma^2(\cdot)$ that attains its maximum at the unique point $t_0\in \mathcal{T}$, and let $M(\mathcal{T}):=\sup_{t\in \mathcal{T}} X(t)$. For…
