Abstract: We consider models of gradient type, which are the densities of a collection of real-valued random variables phi:=phix:xinLambda given by Z1exp(sumolimitsjsimkV(phijphik)). We focus our study on the case that V(ablaphi)=[1+(ablaphi)2]alpha with 0<alpha<1/2, which is a non-convex potential. We introduce an auxiliary field tjk for each edge and represent the model as the marginal of a model with log-concave density. Based on this method, we prove that finite moments of the fields left<[vcdotphi]pight> are bounded uniformly in the volume. This leads to the existence of infinite volume measures. Also, every translation invariant, ergodic infinite volume Gibbs measure for the potential V above scales to a Gaussian free field.
