Abstract:
A three dimensional Winterbottom type construction in the regime of partial wetting is derived in a scaling limit of a gas of microscopic Gaussian SOS droplets under the fixed volume constraint. The proof is based on a coarse graining of the random microscopic region “wetted” by the crystal, random walk representations of various quantities related to free massless fields and a stability analysis of the torsional rigidity problem.
