Abstract: We consider gradient fields $(ph{i}_x:xinmathbb{Z}^d)$ whose law takes the Gibbs--Boltzmann form $Z^{-1}exp-su{m}_{<x,y>}V(ph{i}_y-ph{i}_x)$, where the sum runs over nearest neighbors. We assume that the potential $V$ admits the representation [V(eta):=-logintvarrho({d}kappa)exp�iggl[-{1/2}kappaet a^2�iggr],] where $varrho$ is a positive measure with compact support in $(0,infty)$. Hence, the potential $V$ is symmetric, but nonconvex in general. While for strictly convex $V$'s, the translation-invariant, ergodic gradient Gibbs measures are completely characterized by their tilt, a nonconvex potential as above may lead to several ergodic gradient Gibbs measures with zero tilt. Still, every ergodic, zero-tilt gradient Gibbs measure for the potential $V$ above scales to a Gaussian free field.
