We derive a "switching identity" that can be stated for critical Brownian loop-soups or for the Gaussian free field on a cable graph: It basically says that at the level of cluster configurations and at the more general level of the…
We consider a class of Gaussian Free Fields denoted by $(g_x)_{x \in {\cal V}_N}$, where $ {\cal V}_N = \{0,1\}^N$ and $N\in \mathbb{Z}_+$. These fields are related to a general class of $N$-dimensional random walks on the hypercube, which…
We provide a new proof of the sharpness of the phase transition for nearest-neighbour Bernoulli percolation. More precisely, we show that - for $p<p_c$, the probability that the origin is connected by an open path to distance $n$ decays…
We continue the study of the level-set percolation of the discrete Gaussian free field (GFF) on regular trees in the critical regime, initiated in arXiv:2302.02753. First, we derive a sharp asymptotic estimate for the probability that the…
In this paper, we study the random walk on a supercritical branching process with an uncountable and unbounded set of types supported on the $d$-regular tree $\mathbb{T}_d$ ($d\geq 3$), namely the cluster $\mathcal{C}_\circ^h$ of the root…
We consider the maximum of the discrete two dimensional Gaussian free field (GFF) in a box, and prove that its maximum, centered at its mean, is tight, settling a long-standing conjecture. The proof combines a recent observation of…
We consider the Gaussian free field $\varphi$ on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ at large spatial scales $N$ and give sharp bounds on the probability $\theta(a,N)$ that the radius of a finite cluster in the excursion set $\{\varphi \geq a\}$ on the…
This paper is concerned with the problem of recovering a structured signal from a relatively small number of corrupted random measurements. Sharp phase transitions have been numerically observed in practice when different convex programming…
We consider the Gaussian free field $\varphi$ on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for $d\geq3$, and give sharp bounds on the probability that the radius of a finite cluster in the excursion set $\{\varphi \geq h\}$ exceeds a large value $N$, for any height…
Massive and massless Gaussian free fields can be described as generalized Gaussian processes indexed by an appropriate space of functions. In this article we study various approaches to approximate these fields and look at the fractal…
We study percolation properties of the upper invariant measure of the contact process on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. Our main result is a sharp percolation phase transition with exponentially small clusters throughout the subcritical regime and a…
We introduce the first passage set (FPS) of constant level $-a$ of the two-dimensional continuum Gaussian free field (GFF) on finitely connected domains. Informally, it is the set of points in the domain that can be connected to the…
We review connections between phase transitions in high-dimensional combinatorial geometry and phase transitions occurring in modern high-dimensional data analysis and signal processing. In data analysis, such transitions arise as abrupt…
We introduce a novel approach for studying random k-coverage, using Morse theory for the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) distance function. We prove a sharp phase transition for the number of critical points of the k-NN distance function, from…
For massless vertex-transitive transient graphs, the percolation phase transition for the level sets of the Gaussian free field on the associated continuous cable system is particularly well understood, and in particular the associated…
We have verified various proposals that were suggested in our last paper concerning the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) pure gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. Our…
In this paper we study random linear systems with $k$ variables per equation over the finite field GF(2), or equivalently $k$-XOR-CNF formulas. In a previous paper Creignou and Daud\'e proved that the phase transition for the consistency…
This paper introduces a (2+1)-dimensional Gaussian field which has the Gaussian free field on the upper half-plane with zero boundary conditions as certain two-dimensional sections. Along these sections, called space-like paths, it matches…
We consider the discrete Gaussian Free Field (DGFF) in scaled-up (square-lattice) versions of suitably regular continuum domains $D\subset\mathbb C$ and describe the scaling limit, including local structure, of the level sets at heights…
We prove an inequality on decision trees on monotonic measures which generalizes the OSSS inequality on product spaces. As an application, we use this inequality to prove a number of new results on lattice spin models and their…
