Wetting of gradient fields: pathwise estimates
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the wetting transition in the framework of an effective interface model of gradient type, in dimension 2 and higher. We prove pathwise estimates showing that the interface is localized in the whole thermodynamically-defined partial wetting regime considered in earlier works. Moreover, we study how the interface delocalizes as the wetting transition is approached. Our main tool is reflection positivity in the form of the chessboard estimate.

Entropic repulsion of an interface in an external field
We consider an interface above an attractive hard wall in the complete wetting regime, and submitted to the action of an external increasing, convex potential, and study its delocalization as the intensity of this potential vanishes. Our main motivation is the analysis of critical prewetting, which corresponds to the choice of a linear external potential. We also present partial results on crit...
متن کاملKusuoka-Stroock gradient bounds for the solution of the filtering equation
We obtain sharp gradient bounds for perturbed diffusion semigroups. In contrast with existing results, the perturbation is here random and the bounds obtained are pathwise. Our approach builds on the classical work of Kusuoka and Stroock [12, 14, 15, 16], and extends their program developed for the heat semi-group to solutions of stochastic partial differential equations. The work is motivated ...
متن کاملPathwise Taylor Expansions for Itô Random Fields
Abstract. In this paper we study the pathwise stochastic Taylor expansion, in the sense of our previous work [3], for a class of Itô-type random fields in which the di↵usion part is allowed to contain both the random field itself and its spatial derivatives. Random fields of such an “self-exciting” type particularly contains the fully nonlinear stochastic PDEs of curvature driven di↵usion, as w...

In the first part of the talk, I introduce sharp gradient bounds for the perturbed diffusion semigroup. In contrast with existing results, the perturbation studied here is random and the bounds obtained are pathwise. The approach builds on the classical work of Kusuoka and Stroock. It extends their program developed for the heat semi-group to solutions of stochastic partial differential equatio...
