On the integer lattice we consider the discrete membrane model, a random interface in which the field has Laplacian interaction. We prove that, under appropriate rescaling, the discrete membrane model converges to the continuum membrane…
We study nongeneric planar trees and prove the existence of a Gibbs measure on infinite trees obtained as a weak limit of the finite volume measures. It is shown that in the infinite volume limit there arises exactly one vertex of infinite…
We consider the model of directed polymers in a random environment introduced by Petermann : the random walk is $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued and has independent gaussian $N(0,I_d)$-increments, and the random media is a stationary centred Gaussian…
We consider the real-valued centered Gaussian field on the four-dimensional integer lattice, whose covariance matrix is given by the Green's function of the discrete Bilaplacian. This is interpreted as a model for a semiflexible membrane.…
We show that the centred maximum of the four-dimensional membrane model on a box of sidelength $N$ converges in distribution. To do so we use a criterion of Ding, Roy and Zeitouni and prove sharp estimates for the Green's function of the…
In this paper, we consider the discrete membrane model in four dimensions. We confirm the existence of the scaling limit of the intermediate (i.e., a multiple of the expected maximum) level-sets of the model, and show that it is equal in…
We study the minimal spanning arborescence which is the directed analogue of the minimal spanning tree, with a particular focus on its infinite volume limit and its geometric properties. We prove that in a certain large class of transient…
Invariance of on-shell scattering amplitudes under field redefinitions is a well known property in field theory that corresponds to covariance of on-shell amputated connected functions. In recent years there have been great efforts to…
Restrictions to molecular motion by barriers (membranes) are ubiquitous in biological tissues, porous media and composite materials. A major challenge is to characterize the microstructure of a material or an organism nondestructively using…
The membrane model is a Gaussian interface model with a Hamiltonian involving second derivatives of the interface height. We consider the model in dimension $\mathsf{d}\ge4$ under the influence of $\delta$-pinning of strength $\varepsilon$.…
We give a generalization to a continuous setting of the classic Markov chain tree Theorem. In particular, we consider an irreducible diffusion process on a metric graph. The unique invariant measure has an atomic component on the vertices…
A discrete gradient model for interfaces is studied. The interaction potential is a non-convex perturbation of the quadratic gradient potential. Based on a representation for the finite volume Gibbs measure obtained via a renormalization…
We study an equilibrium statistical mechanical model of tree graphs which are made up of a linear subgraph (the spine) to which leaves are attached. We prove that the model has two phases, a generic phase where the spine becomes infinitely…
In this paper we show that all infinite trees which have bounded coordination and whose surface is negligible with respect to the volume in the limit of large distances (so that they can be embedded in a finite-dimensional euclidean space)…
Using the concept of discrete noiseless channels, it was shown by Shannon in A Mathematical Theory of Communication that the ultimate performance of an encoder for a constrained system is limited by the combinatorial capacity of the system…
We present a general result which shows that the winding of the branches in a uniform spanning tree on a planar graph converge in the limit of fine mesh size to a Gaussian free field. The result holds true assuming only convergence of…
We study Markov chains on $\mathbb Z^m$, $m\geq 2$, that behave like a standard symmetric random walk outside of the hyperplane (membrane) $H=\{0\}\times \mathbb Z^{m-1}$. The transition probabilities on the membrane $H$ are periodic and…
We consider the Gaussian interface model in the presence of random external fields, that is the finite volume (random) Gibbs measure on $\mathbb{R}^{\Lambda_N}$, $\Lambda_N=[-N, N]^d\cap \mathbb{Z}^d$ with Hamiltonian $H_N(\phi)=…
We prove that any involution-invariant probability measure on the space of trees with maximum degrees at most d arises as the local limit of a convergent large girth graph sequence. This answers a question of Bollobas and Riordan.
We develop a new robust technique to deduce variance principles for non-integrable discrete systems. To illustrate this technique, we show the existence of a variational principle for graph homomorphisms from $\Z^m$ to a $d$-regular tree.…
