In the spirit of [M. Biskup & O. Louidor, Adv. Math. 330 (2018)], we study the local structure of $\star$-scale invariant fields -- a class of log-correlated Gaussian fields -- around their extremal points by characterising the law of the…

We study the high excursion probability of a centered Gaussian field on a square. Writing \(\sigma\) and \(r\) for its standard deviation and correlation function, we assume that \(\sigma\) has a unique maximum at the corner…

We investigate the maximal non-critical cluster in a big box in various percolation-type models. We investigate its typical size, and the fluctuations around this typical size. The limit law of these fluctuations are related to maxima of…

We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…

We determine the leading order of the maximum of the random potential associated to a two-dimensional Coulomb gas for general $\beta$ and general confinement potential, extending the recent result of Lambert-Lebl\'e-Zeitouni. In the case…

This paper derives a new strong Gaussian approximation bound for the sum of independent random vectors. The approach relies on the optimal transport theory and yields \textit{explicit} dependence on the dimension size $p$ and the sample…

Let $(X_i)_{1 \le i \le n}$ be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) standard Gaussian random variables, and denote by $X_{(n)} = \max_{1 \le i \le n} X_i$ the maximum order statistic. It is well-known in extreme value theory…

We consider a stationary random field indexed by an increasing sequence of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ obeying a very broad geometrical assumption on how the sequence expands. Under certain mixing and local conditions, we show how the tail…

We derive novel anti-concentration bounds for the difference between the maximal values of two Gaussian random vectors across various settings. Our bounds are dimension-free, scaling with the dimension of the Gaussian vectors only through…

We consider the Gaussian free field on the torus whose covariance kernel is given by the zero-average Green's function. We show that for dimension $d\ge 3$, the extremal point process associated with this field converges weakly to a Poisson…

Many low temperature disordered systems are expected to exhibit Poisson-Dirichlet (PD) statistics. In this paper, we focus on the case when the underlying disorder is a logarithmically correlated Gaussian process $\phi_N$ on the box…

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)=…

Let $X_1, \ldots, X_n$ be independent random points drawn from an absolutely continuous probability measure with density $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$. Under mild conditions on $f$, we derive a Poisson limit theorem for the number of large…

We consider continuous time random interlacements on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \ge 3$, and characterize the distribution of the corresponding stationary random field of occupation times. When d = 3, we relate this random field to the…

We study in depth the nesting graph and volume distribution of the nodal domains of a Gaussian field, which have been shown in previous works to exhibit asymptotic laws. A striking link is established between the asymptotic mean…

We study the local structure of the extremal process associated with the Discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in scaled-up (square-)lattice versions of bounded open planar domains subject to mild regularity conditions on the boundary. We…

We study level-set percolation for Gaussian free fields on metric graphs. In two dimensions, we give an upper bound on the chemical distance between the two boundaries of a macroscopic annulus. Our bound holds with high probability…

For a skew normal random sequence, convergence rates of the distribution of its partial maximum to the Gumbel extreme value distribution are derived. The asymptotic expansion of the distribution of the normalized maximum is given under an…

Let $\{\xi_n, n\in\Z^d\}$ be a $d$-dimensional array of i.i.d. Gaussian random variables and define $\SSS(A)=\sum_{n\in A} \xi_n$, where $A$ is a finite subset of $\Z^d$. We prove that the appropriately normalized maximum of…
