Probability Seminar: Gradient Gibbs distribution with non-convex potential at high temperature

  • Date: 03/24/2010
Lecturer(s):
Jean-Dominique Deuschel (Technische Universitat Berlin)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Description: 

We consider a gradient Gibbs measure with non convex potential and show that it behaves at high temperature like a gaussian free field. The proof is based on the fact that the marginal distribution of the even sites has a strictly convex Hamiltonian for which we can apply the random walk representation.
This is a joint work with Codina Cotar.

Schedule: 

4:00 - 5:00pm, WMAX 216.
