Abstract

It is shown that if φ(f) ∝Rd φ(y) f(y) dy is a Markoff random field and Xα are multiplicative functionals of φ (with E(Xα) = 1) which converge locally in L1, then there exists a locally Markoff random field φ* such that E(exp(iφ*(f))) = limα E(Xα exp(iφ(φ))). We choose φ to be the two-dimensional generalization of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck velocity process and take Xα proportional to exp(-λ∝R2 : P(φ(y)) : gα(y) dy), where: P(φ(y)) : is a regularized even degree polynomial in φ(y). It is then proved that for an appropriate choice of gα → 1 and small λ, {Xα} does converge locally in L1 and that the corresponding φ* is stationary.
