Entropic repulsion for a class of Gaussian interface models in high dimensions

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Consider the centered Gaussian field on the lattice mathbbZd, d large enough, with covariances given by the inverse of sumj=kKqj(Delta)j, where Delta is the discrete Laplacian and qjinmathbbR,kleqjleqK, the qj satisfying certain additional conditions. We extend a previously known result to show that the probability that all spins are nonnegative on a box of side-length N has an exponential decay at rate of order Nd2klogN. The constant is given in terms of a higher-order capacity of the unit cube, analogous to the known case of the lattice free field. This result then allows us to show that, if we condition the field to stay positive in the Nbox, the local sample mean of the field is pushed to a height of order sqrtlogN.
