In this article, we study stochastic homogenization of non-homogeneous Gaussian free fields $$\Xi ^{g,\textbf{a}} $$ Ξ g , a and bi-Laplacian fields $$\Xi ^{b,\textbf{a}}$$ Ξ b , a . They can be characterized as follows: for $$f=\delta $$ f = δ the solution u of $$\nabla \cdot \textbf{a} \nabla u =f$$ ∇ · a ∇ u = f , $$\textbf{a}$$ a is a uniformly elliptic random environment, is the covariance of $$\Xi ^{g,\textbf{a}}$$ Ξ g , a . When f is the white noise, the field $$\Xi ^{b,\textbf{a}}$$ Ξ b , a can be viewed as the distributional solution of the same elliptic equation. Our results characterize the scaling limit of such fields on both, a sufficiently regular domain $$D\subset \mathbb {R}^d$$ D ⊂ R d , or on the discrete torus. Based on stochastic homogenization techniques applied to the eigenfunction basis of the Laplace operator $$\Delta $$ Δ , we will show that such families of fields converge to an appropriate multiple of the GFF resp. bi-Laplacian. The limiting fields are determined by their respective homogenized operator $${{\,\mathrm{\bar{\textbf{a}}}\,}}\Delta $$ a ¯ Δ , with constant $${{\,\mathrm{\bar{\textbf{a}}}\,}}$$ a ¯ depending on the law of the environment $$\textbf{a}$$ a . The proofs are based on the results found in Armstrong et al. (in: Grundlehren der mathematischen Wissenschaften, Springer International Publishing, Cham, 2019) and Gloria et al. (ESAIM Math Model Numer Anal 48(2):325-346, 2014).

We establish a coupling between the $${\mathcal {P}}(\phi )_2$$ P ( ϕ ) 2 measure and the Gaussian free field on the two-dimensional unit torus at all spatial scales, quantified by probabilistic regularity estimates on the difference field. Our result includes the well-studied $$\phi ^4_2$$ ϕ 2 4 measure. The proof uses an exact correspondence between the Polchinski renormalisation group approach, which is used to define the coupling, and the Boué–Dupuis stochastic control representation for $${\mathcal {P}}(\phi )_2$$ P ( ϕ ) 2 . More precisely, we show that the difference field is obtained from a specific minimiser of the variational problem. This allows to transfer regularity estimates for the small-scales of minimisers, obtained using discrete harmonic analysis tools, to the difference field.As an application of the coupling, we prove that the maximum of the $${\mathcal {P}}(\phi )_2$$ P ( ϕ ) 2 field on the discretised torus with mesh-size $$\epsilon > 0$$ ϵ > 0 converges in distribution to a randomly shifted Gumbel distribution as $$\epsilon \rightarrow 0$$ ϵ → 0 .
