We consider the real-valued centered Gaussian field on the four-dimensional integer lattice, whose covariance matrix is given by the Greens function of the discrete Bilaplacian. This is interpreted as a model for a semiflexible membrane. $d=4$ is the critical dimension for this model. We discuss the effect of a hard wall on the membrane, via a multiscale analysis of the maximum of the field. We use analytic and probabilistic tools to describe the correlation structure of the field.

Consider the centered Gaussian field on the lattice $mathbb{Z}^d,$ $d$ large enough, with covariances given by the inverse of $sum_{j=k}^K q_j(-Delta)^j,$ where $Delta$ is the discrete Laplacian and $q_j in mathbb{R},kleq jleq K,$ the $q_j$ satisfyin g certain additional conditions. We extend a previously known result to show that the probability that all spins are nonnegative on a box of side-length $N$ has an exponential decay at rate of order $N^{d-2k}log{N}.$ The constant is given in terms of a higher-order capacity of the unit cube, analogous to the known case of the lattice free field. This result then allows us to show that, if we condition the field to stay positive in the $N-$box, the local sample mean of the field is pushed to a height of order $sqrt{log N}.$
We study the behaviour of the point process of critical points of isotropic stationary Gaussian fields. We compute the main term in the asymptotic expansion of the two-point correlation function near the diagonal. Our main result implies that for a g eneric field the critical points neither repel nor attract each other. Our analysis also allows to study how the short-range behaviour of critical points depends on their index.
We study pore nucleation in a model membrane system, a freestanding polymer film. Nucleated pores smaller than a critical size close, while pores larger than the critical size grow. Holes of varying size were purposefully prepared in liquid polymer f ilms, and their evolution in time was monitored using optical and atomic force microscopy to extract a critical radius. The critical radius scales linearly with film thickness for a homopolymer film. The results agree with a simple model which takes into account the energy cost due to surface area at the edge of the pore. The energy cost at the edge of the pore is experimentally varied by using a lamellar-forming diblock copolymer membrane. The underlying molecular architecture causes increased frustration at the pore edge resulting in an enhanced cost of pore formation.

We prove a shape theorem for the set of infected individuals in a spatial epidemic model with 3 states (susceptible-infected-recovered) on ${mathbb Z}^d,dge 3$, when there is no extinction of the infection. For this, we derive percolation estimates ( using dynamic renormalization techniques) for a locally dependent random graph in correspondence with the epidemic model.
We consider Dyson models, Ising models with slow polynomial decay, at low temperature and show that its Gibbs measures deep in the phase transition region are not $g$-measures. The main ingredient in the proof is the occurrence of an entropic repulsi on effect, which follows from the mesoscopic stability of a (single-point) interface for these long-range models in the phase transition region.
