Abstract

We analyze the level lines of the Gaussian Free Field with logarithmic singularities in polygonal domains. We focus on the (none-zero) singular case and compare it to the singular-free setting. The law of the level lines for the field in singular case is absolutely continuous with respect to the law for the singular-free case, with a Radon-Nikodym derivative related to the reduced Green's energy which is introduced by F. Viklund and D. W. Nyström~[VN24]. These level lines admit a Brownian motion representation. In the singular-free case, such representation involves Poisson point processes of Brownian loops and excursions; while for the singular case, it additionally includes Poisson point processes of Brownian bubbles and bridges. The special cases of one or two singularities yield moment-generating functions of the conformal radius, which can be interpreted as one-point and two-point correlation functions of vertex operators in conformal field theory at the free-boson point. While the Radon-Nikodym derivative is bounded away from the singularities, the behavior of the level lines near the singularities is markedly different from the singular-free case, with different asymptotic probabilities for all level lines to remain close to the singularity.

Graph-diameter criteria and sharp dissipation in discrete Wasserstein-Fisher geometry

We study the probability simplex of a finite connected weighted graph with an Onsager operator combining logarithmic-mean transport and mass-conserving Fisher reaction. For every fixed positive reaction parameter, we prove that the entropy Hessian has a finite global lower bound if and only if the original transport graph has diameter at most two. Near a boundary probability, the corresponding criterion is that its positive support reaches every vertex in at most two steps. The proof controls all potential directions under arbitrary multiscale boundary degeneration. For graphs of diameter at most two, the optimal lower bound is Lipschitz on bounded parameter intervals, including the pure-transport endpoint. We also determine the largest instantaneous logarithmic-amplitude dissipation function depending only on the graph and the current amplitude, and construct two-level probabilities attaining it. Its positivity has the same two-step criterion. As consequences, we obtain graph-dependent entropy-decay estimates and exact projective contraction bounds without assuming nonnegative entropic curvature.

Two-neighbor lattice percolation percolates in all dimensions

It is trivial that $1$-dimensional $2$-neighbor lattice percolation percolates. Coupier, Henry, Jahnel and Köppl proved the $2$-neighbor lattice percolation percolates in dimension 2; and then for sufficiently large dimensions, Bäumler, Jahnel, Köppl, Lodewijks, Reeves and Tóbiás showed this is still true. In this paper, we verify that the $2$-neighbor lattice percolation percolates in all dimensions $d\ge 3.$

Strong approximations for dependent random fields

We establish strong Gaussian approximations for centered stationary random fields on $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge2$, represented as measurable functions of i.i.d.\ innovations. Under finite $p$th moments, $p>2$, and sufficiently fast decay of spatial dependence, we construct a single coupling of the field with an i.i.d.\ Gaussian field. Its partial sums, scaled by the long-run standard deviation, approximate those of the original field almost surely, uniformly over all rectangular prefixes and all observation scales. Over a cube of side length $n$, the approximation error is $O_{\mathrm{a.s.}}(n^{\max\{d/p,(d-1)/2\}})$ up to logarithmic factors. While $d/p$ is the familiar moment term, the surface term $(d-1)/2$, absent for independent planar arrays, emerges as a cost of dependence, and cannot be removed even for finite-range Gaussian fields. The assumptions accommodate nonlinear and noncausal fields without imposing mixing. The proof combines a permanent dyadic blocking, a local Gaussian coupling in tensor Haar coordinates driven by a Doob martingale with vanishing conditional third moments, and a comparison of the resulting dependent Gaussian blocks with white noise.
