We study on the metric graphs two types of scalar Gaussian free fields (GFF), the usual one and the one twisted by a $\{-1,1\}$-valued gauge field. We show that the latter can be obtained, up to an additional deterministic transformation,…
The aim of this paper is to present a self-similar growth-fragmentation process linked to a Brownian excursion in the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$, obtained by cutting the excursion at horizontal levels. We prove that the associated…
Consider a_1,a_2,...,a_n, arbitrary elements of R. We characterize those real functions f that decompose into the sum of a_j-periodic functions, i.e., f=f_1+...+f_n with D_{a_j}f(x):=f(x+a_j)-f(x)=0. We show that f has such a decomposition…
This survey is a collection of various results and formulas by different authors on the areas (integrals) of five related processes, viz.\spacefactor =1000 Brownian motion, bridge, excursion, meander and double meander; for the Brownian…
In this paper we outline the application of decomposition to condensation defects and their fusion rules. Briefly, a condensation defect is obtained by gauging a higher-form symmetry along a submanifold, and so there is a natural interplay…
We point out a new simple way to couple the Gaussian Free Field (GFF) with free boundary conditions in a two-dimensional domain with the GFF with zero boundary conditions in the same domain: Starting from the latter, one just has to sample…
In this paper we investigate the form factors of paths for a class of non Gaussian processes. These processes are characterized in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. In particular, we obtain a closed analytic form for the form factors,…
We study the level lines of GFF starting from interior points. We show that the level line of GFF starting from an interior point turns out to be a sequence of level loops. The sequence of level loops satisfies "target-independent"…
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 prove that if an orientable 3-manifold $M$ admits a complete Riemannian metric whose scalar curvature is positive and has a subquadratic decay at infinity, then it decomposes as a (possibly infinite) connected sum of spherical manifolds…
The simplest possible noncommutative harmonic oscillator in two dimensions is used to quantize the free closed bosonic string in two flat dimensions. The partition function is not deformed by the introduction of noncommutativity, if we…
We develop an excursion theory for Brownian motion indexed by the Brownian tree, which in many respects is analogous to the classical It\^o theory for linear Brownian motion. Each excursion is associated with a connected component of the…
We prove that the phase transition for the Gaussian free field (GFF) is sharp. In comparison to a previous argument due to Rodriguez in 2017 which characterized a $0-1$ law for the Massive Gaussian Free Field by analyzing crossing…
We study the persistence probability for some two-sided discrete-time Gaussian sequences that are discrete-time analogs of fractional Brownian motion and integrated fractional Brownian motion, respectively. Our results extend the…
The nature of level set percolation in the two-dimension Gaussian Free Field has been an elusive question. Using a loop-model mapping, we show that there is a nontrivial percolation transition, and characterize the critical point. In…
Monte Carlo study of the deconfined critical action phase diagram reveals a region where spinon deconfinement occurs through a weak first-order phase transition, in agreement with Ginzburg-Landau theory. Wilson renormalization argument in…
We derive a covariance formula for the number of excursion or level set components of a smooth stationary Gaussian field on $\mathbb{R}^d$ contained in compact domains. We also present two applications of this formula: (1) for fields whose…
Sub-fractional Brownian motion is a process analogous to fractional Brownian motion but without stationary increments. In \cite{GGL1} we proved a strong uniform approximation with a rate of convergence for fractional Brownian motion by…
In this paper we discuss gauging one-form symmetries in two-dimensional theories. The existence of a global one-form symmetry in two dimensions typically signals a violation of cluster decomposition -- an issue resolved by the observation…
We review work on `decomposition,' a property of two-dimensional theories with 1-form symmetries and, more generally, d-dimensional theories with (d-1)-form symmetries. Decomposition is the observation that such quantum field theories are…
