Abstract: We consider the (scalar) gradient fields $eta=(et{a}_b)$--with $b$ denoting the nearest-neighbor edges in $$--that are distributed according to the Gibbs measure proportional to $$. Here $H=su{m}_{b}V(et{a}_b)$ is the Hamiltonian, $V$ is a symmetric potential, $$ is the inverse temperature, and $u$ is the Lebesgue measure on the linear space defined by imposing the loop condition $et{a}_{b_1}+et{a}_{b_2}=et{a}_{b_3}+et{a}_{b_4}$ for each plaquette $(b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4)$ in $$. For convex $V$, Funaki and Spohn have shown that ergodic infinite-volume Gibbs measures are characterized by their tilt. We describe a mechanism by which the gradient Gibbs measures with non-convex $V$ undergo a structural, order-disorder phase transition at some intermediate value of inverse temperature $$. At the transition point, there are at least two distinct gradient measures with zero tilt, i.e., $Eet{a}_b=0$.
