Summary
The paper studies the critical level set percolation for the Gaussian free field (GFF) in dimensions d > 6, focusing on the intrinsic geometry of the critical percolation cluster.
Highlights
- The authors develop new methods to study the intrinsic geometry of the critical percolation cluster.
- They introduce a comparison principle between the extrinsic and intrinsic metrics.
- The paper establishes a quadratic relation between the extrinsic and intrinsic metrics.
- The authors prove the chemical one-arm exponent and an averaged version of a conjecture by Werner.
- They use a geometric technique involving "simple" paths that are non-backtracking in a loop sense.
- The results hold for all d > 6, extending previous work that was limited to d > 20.
- The authors use a combination of probabilistic and geometric arguments to establish their results.
