TL;DR
This work builds a rigorous bridge between the H^{2|2}-model and VRJP on the Dyson hierarchical lattice by developing a reverse fine-graining renormalization and an exponential martingale framework. It establishes a continuum-space scaling limit, yielding a random measure on [0,1] whose singularity is dictated by VRJP recurrence, and provides a detailed ergodic and mixing analysis that underpins a zero-one law for the limiting field. The combination of coarse- and fine-graining, hierarchical lattice analysis, and martingale methods yields a precise characterization of when the limiting measure is singular or carries an absolutely continuous component, tying spectral-type behavior to probabilistic long-time dynamics. The results illuminate non-perturbative aspects of the H^{2|2}-theory on hierarchical structures and advance understanding of localization-delocalization phenomena via a probabilistic continuum limit.
Abstract
We extend the exact coarse-graining result of Disertori, Merkl and Rolles~\cite{MR4517733} for the random field of $H^{2|2}$-model to the random Schrödinger operator representation of the $H^{2|2}$-model. We also introduce a fine-graining procedure as the reverse operation, and establish an associated exponential martingale property. Applying this fine-graining procedure to the $H^{2|2}$-model on the Dyson hierarchical lattice, we establish its continuous space scaling limit as a non-trivial random measure on $[0,1]$. This random measure is almost surely singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure if and only if the Vertex Reinforced Jump Process on the Dyson hierarchical lattice is recurrent. If the process is transient, the random measure almost surely has an absolutely continuous component. The density of this component is everywhere non-trivial and can be identified with the pointwise limit of an exponential martingale associated with the $H^{2|2}$-model on the Dyson hierarchical lattice.
