Entropic repulsion of Gaussian free field on high-dimensional Sierpinski carpet graphs

Abstract: Consider the free field on a fractal graph based on a high-dimensional Sierpinski carpet (e.g. the Menger sponge), that is, a centered Gaussian field whose covariance is the Green's function for simple random walk on the graph. Moreover assume that a "hard wall" is imposed at height zero so that the field stays positive everywhere. We prove the leading-order asymptotics for the local sample mean of the free field above the hard wall on any transient Sierpinski carpet graph, thereby extending a result of Boltha… Show more

“…As regards to the behavior of the branching random walk in presence of a hard wall, we recall similar results for other gaussian processes such as [10], [11], [2], [14], [8], [7]. The leading order term in the exponent of the probability of positivity is what is estimated, while we estimate both the leading order term and the second leading term in the exponent.…”

“…We apply a similar strategy for obtaining the lower bound as well. Let us recall (8) at this juncture along with X, and let us call the variance of X to be σ 2 d,n = 1−d −n d−1 . In (8), we condition on the value of X to obtain the following:…”

“…Fatou's lemmas for weakly converging measures have significant applications to various areas and fields including stochastic processes [5,7,21,26], statistics [19,31,32], control [6,12,14,17,35], game theory [22], functional analysis [20], optimization [37], and electrical engineering [28]. Our initial motivation in studying Fatou's lemma for variable probabilities was caused by its usefulness for the proof of the validity of optimality inequalities and the existence of stationary optimal policies for infinite-horizon, Borel-state, average-cost Markov decision process with noncompact action sets and unbounded costs [14].…”

“…In the case of weak convergence, the lower limit of functions should be defined in a stronger sense than in the setwise convergence case and in the classic case of a single measure. Fatou's lemma for weakly converging measures is broadly used in stochastic control [7,9,19,29], game theory [15], and in other applications [6,23].…”
