Abstract

We consider the Gaussian free field φ on Zd, for d3, and give sharp bounds on the probability that the radius of a finite cluster in the excursion set {φh} exceeds a large value N for any height hh, where h refers to the corresponding percolation critical parameter. In dimension 3, we prove that this probability is subexponential in N and decays as exp{π6(hh)2NlogN} as N to principal exponential order. When d4, we prove that these tails decay exponentially in N. Our results extend to other quantities of interest, such as truncated two-point functions and the two-arms probability for annuli crossings at scale N.
