Conditions on such ``clustering function'' are given for the existence of a limiting free energy and a wetting transition, namely the existence of a non-trivial percolation parameter threshold above and only above which the set of ``dry'' (open) sites have an asymptotic density. Several examples of clustering functions are given and studied using the general theory. The results here will be used in a sequel paper to study the wetting transition for the discrete Gaussian free field on the tree subject to a hard wall constraint.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-10-17T13:49:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B41", "82B26", "82B05" ], "keywords": [ "wetting transition", "discrete gaussian free field", "non-trivial percolation parameter threshold", "hard wall constraint", "site percolation configurations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
