Abstract: We consider the level-sets of continuous Gaussian fields on $mathbb{R}^d$ above a certain level $-ellinmathbbR$, which defines a percolation model as $ell$ varies. We assume that the covariance kernel satisfies certain regularity, symmetry and positivity conditions as well as a polynomial decay with exponent greater than $d$ (in particular, this includes the Bargmann-Fock field). Under these assumptions, we prove that the model undergoes a sharp phase transition around its critical point $el{l}_c$. More precisely, we show that connection probabilities decay exponentially for $ell<el{l}_c$ and percolation occurs in sufficiently thick 2D slabs for $ell>el{l}_c$. This extends results recently obtained in dimension $d=2$ to arbitrary dimensions through completely different techniques. The result follows from a global comparison with a truncated (i.e. with finite range of dependence) and discretized (i.e. defined on the lattice $varepsilonmathbb{Z}^d$) version of the model, which may be of independent interest. The proof of this comparison relies on an interpolation scheme that integrates out the long-range and infinitesimal correlations of the model while compensating them with a slight change in the parameter $ell$.
