The Gaussian free-field as a stream function: asymptotics of effective diffusivity in infra-red cut-off

We analyze the large-time asymptotics of a passive tracer with drift equal to the curl of the Gaussian free field in two dimensions with ultra-violet cut-off at scale unity. We prove that the mean-squared displacement scales like $t \sqrt{\ln t}$, as predicted in the physics literature and recently almost proved by the work of Cannizzaro, Haunschmidt-Sibitz, and Toninelli (2022), which uses mathematical-physics type analysis in Fock space. Our approach involves studying the effective diffusivity $λ_{L}$ of the process with an infra-red cut-off at scale $L$, and is based on techniques from stochastic homogenization.

Regularity for the fully nonlinear parabolic thin obstacle problem

We prove $C^{1, α}$ regularity (in the parabolic sense) for the viscosity solution of a boundary obstacle problem with a fully nonlinear parabolic equation in the interior. Following the method which was first introduced for the harmonic case by L. Caffarelli in 1979, we extend the results of I. Athanasopoulos (1982) who studied the linear parabolic case and the results of E. Milakis and L. Silvestre (2008) who treated the fully nonlinear elliptic case.
