Scaling-limit conjecture for the excursion decomposition of the two-dimensional DGFF

Consider lattice graphs Dn(2nZ)2D_n\subseteq (2^{-n}\mathbb Z)^2 converging to a bounded, simply connected domain DCD\subseteq\mathbb C, and let ϕn\phi_n be the zero-boundary DGFF on DnD_n converging almost surely to the continuum GFF Φ\Phi in, say, HεH^{-\varepsilon}. Write (Ekn,θkn,μkn)k1(E^n_k,\theta^n_k,\mu^n_k)_{k\geq 1} for the excursion decompositions of the DGFFs. Let \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{\lambda} and \mathdsAλ,λ\mathds A_{-\lambda,\lambda} denote the continuum level-set objects used to describe the GFF excursion decomposition, with λ\lambda the relevant boundary value.

Excursion-decomposition scaling-limit conjecture. The discrete decompositions converge to a decomposition (Ek,θk,μk)k1(E_k,\theta_k,\mu_k)_{k\geq 1} such that the union of outermost positive clusters is given by \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{-\lambda} and the union of outermost negative clusters by \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{\lambda}. Individual clusters are obtained by taking \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{-\lambda} or \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{\lambda} in the holes of \mathdsAλ,λ\mathds A_{-\lambda,\lambda} having sign λ\lambda or λ-\lambda, respectively. Recursively, in holes surrounded by a negative cluster, a positive cluster is given by \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{-\lambda}, while holes surrounded by a positive cluster yield negative clusters by taking \mathdsAλ\mathds A_{\lambda}. Given the clusters, the signs are determined up to a global multiplication by 1-1, and the sign-excursion measures (μk)k1(\mu_k)_{k\geq 1} are the Minkowski-content measures of (Ek)k1(E_k)_{k\geq 1} in the same gauge as in Theorem.

This conjecture proposes the continuum scaling limit of the excursion decomposition of the discrete two-dimensional GFF, extending the convergence of the field itself to the joint geometry, signs, and measures of its sign-excursion clusters. The source presents it informally and indicates that a precise formulation would parallel an earlier convergence theorem; no resolution is supplied here.
