All comments are welcome", "categories": [ "math.PR" ], "abstract": "Let $h$ be an instance of Gaussian Free Field in a planar domain. We study level lines of $h$ starting from boundary points. We show that the level lines are random continuous curves which are variants of SLE$_4$ path. We show that the level lines with different heights satisfy the same monotonicity behavior as the level lines of smooth functions. We prove that the time-reversal of the level line coincides with the level line of $-h$. This implies that the time-reversal of SLE$_4(\\underline{\\rho})$ process is still an SLE$_4(\\underline{\\rho})$ process. We prove that the level lines satisfy \"target-independent\" property. We also discuss the relation between Gaussian Free Field and CLE$_4$ which is a collection of SLE$_4$-loops.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-11T22:07:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "gaussian free field", "zero-boundary gff", "study level lines", "level line coincides", "level lines satisfy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 77, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.3839W" } } }
