Title: Scaling limits and surface tension for gradient Gibbs measure


Abstract: I will discuss new results for the gradient field models with 
uniformly convex potential (also known as the Ginzburg-Landau field). A 
connection between the scaling limits of the field and elliptic homogenization 
was introduced by Naddaf and Spencer in 1997. We quantify the existing 
central limit theorems in light of recent advances in quantitative 
homogenization; and positively settle a conjecture of Funaki and Spohn about 
the surface tension. Joint work with Scott Armstrong.
