Fluctuations of the Discrete Gaussian Chain

The "Discrete Gaussian Chain" is a model which extends the celebrated long-range 1D lsing model with $1/r^\alpha$ interactions. The latter model is known to have a rather intriguing phase-diagram. Instead of having +/- spins, the discrete Gaussian Chain is a random field with values in the integers Z. After introducing this model and its history, I will describe its large scale fluctuations and will compare its phase diagram with the case of long-range Ising model.


Except for a few of the oldest sessions these are from the Seminário de Probabilidade e Mecânica Estatística at IMPA which is co-sponsored by several institutions, in particular Instituto Superior Técnico.
