SUMMARY:Extremal and local statistics for gradient field models - Wei Wu (

DESCRIPTION:We study the gradient field models with uniformly convex poten
 tial (also known as the Ginzburg-Landau field) in two dimension. These log
 -correlated non-Gaussian random fields arise in different branches of stat
 istical mechanics. Existing results were mainly focused on the CLT for the
  linear functionals. In this talk I will describe some recent progress on 
 the global maximum and local CLT for the field\, thus confirming they are 
 in the Gaussian universality class in a very strong sense. The proof uses 
 a random walk representation (a la Helffer-Sjostrand) and an approximate h
 armonic coupling (by J. Miller).
