We study the asymptotics of the variance of the field, and of the decay-rate of its 2-point function, as e goes to zero, for general Gaussian interactions. Physically speaking, we thus rigorously obtain the critical behavior of the transverse and longitudinal correlation lengths of the corresponding d+1-dimensional effective interface model in a non-mean-field regime. We also describe the set of pinned sites at small e, for a broad class of d-dimensional massless models.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-10-30T12:30:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60K35", "82B41", "82B24", "82B27" ], "keywords": [ "critical behavior", "depinning transition", "longitudinal correlation lengths", "general gaussian interactions", "d-dimensional massless free field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Springer", "journal": "Commun.
