Abstract: We continue the study of the maximum of the scale-inhomogeneous discrete Gaussian free field in dimension two. In this paper, we consider the regime of weak correlations and prove the convergence in law of the centred maximum to a randomly shifted Gumbel distribution. In particular, we obtain limiting expressions for the random shift. As in the case of variable speed branching Brownian motion, the shift is of the form CY, where C is a constant that depends only on the variance at the shortest scales, and Y is a random variable that depends only on the variance at the largest scales. Moreover, we investigate the geometry of highest local maxima. We show that they occur in clusters of finite size that are separated by macroscopic distances. The poofs are based on Gaussian comparison with branching random walks and second moment estimates.
