Villain-model level lines with piecewise boundary values converge to SLE4

About 6 years old · traced to

Let Λn\Lambda_n be the finite domain, let TT be sufficiently small, and let ψn\psi_n be a Villain model in Λn\Lambda_n at temperature TT. Give it boundary values exp⁡(−iλTVil′)\exp(-i\lambda\sqrt{T_{\mathrm{Vil}}'}) on the left boundary portion ∂Λn∩{x:Re⁡(x)<0}\partial\Lambda_n\cap\{x:\operatorname{Re}(x)<0\} and exp⁡(iλTVil′)\exp(i\lambda\sqrt{T_{\mathrm{Vil}}'}) on the complementary portion ∂Λn∩{x:Re⁡(x)≥0}\partial\Lambda_n\cap\{x:\operatorname{Re}(x)\geq0\}. Let η(n)\eta^{(n)} be the level line of the imaginary part of ψn\psi_n. Villain-level-line SLE4 conjecture. As nn tends to infinity, η(n)\eta^{(n)} converges in law to an SLE4\mathrm{SLE}_4.

This is the Villain-model analogue of the discrete Gaussian-free-field level-line prediction and is motivated by the Fröhlich–Spencer approximation. The supplied text does not prove the claimed scaling limit.
