Abstract

The Discrete Gaussian model is the lattice Gaussian free field conditioned to be integer-valued. In two dimensions and at sufficiently high temperature, we show that the scaling limit of the infinite-volume gradient Gibbs state with zero mean is a multiple of the Gaussian free field.

This article is the second in a series on the Discrete Gaussian model, extending the methods of the first paper by the analysis of general external fields (rather than macroscopic test functions on the torus). As a byproduct, we also obtain a scaling limit for mesoscopic test functions on the torus.
