Abstract

Given d1d\ge 1, we provide a construction of the random measure - the critical Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos - formally defined e2dXdμe^{\sqrt{2d}X}\mathrm{d} \mu where XX is a log\log-correlated Gaussian field and μ\mu is a locally finite measure on Rd\mathbb R^d. Our construction generalizes the one performed in the case where μ\mu is the Lebesgue measure. It requires that the measure μ\mu is sufficiently spread out, namely that for μ\mu almost every xx we have B(0,1)μ(dy)xydeρ(log1xy)<, \int_{B(0,1)}\frac{\mu(\mathrm{d} y)}{|x-y|^{d}e^{\rho\left(\log \frac{1}{|x-y|} \right)}}<\infty, for any compact set where ρ:R+R+\rho:\mathbb R_+\to \mathbb R_+ can be chosen to be any lower envelope function for the 33-Bessel process (this includes ρ(x)=xα\rho(x)=x^{\alpha} with α(0,1/2)\alpha\in (0,1/2)). We prove that three distinct random objects converge to a common limit which defines the critical GMC: the derivative martingale, the critical martingale, and the exponential of the mollified field. We also show that the above criterion for the measure μ\mu is in a sense optimal.
