On homogenization and scaling limit of some gradient perturbations of a massless free field (Q2364995)

The authors study the continuum scaling limit of some statistical mechanical models defined by convex Hamiltonians \(H(\varphi)\) which are gradient perturbations of a massless free field. They prove, under suitable assumptions of positivity of the Hessian of the Hamiltonian, a central limit theorem for these models, and show that their long distance behavior is identical to a new homogeneized continuum massless free field. They obtain also new bounds on the 2-point correlation functions of these models.
