Abstract. This paper is concerned with d = 2 dimensional lattice field models with action V (∇φ(·)), where V : R d → R is a uniformly convex function. The fluctuations of the variable φ(0) − φ(x) are studied for large |x| via the generating function given by g(x, µ) = ln e µ(φ(0)−φ(x)) A . In two dimensions g ′′ (x, µ) = ∂ 2 g(x, µ)/∂µ 2 is proportional to ln |x|. The main result of this paper is a bound on g ′′′ (x, µ) = ∂ 3 g(x, µ)/∂µ 3 which is uniform in |x| for a class of convex V . The proof uses integration by parts following Helffer-Sjöstrand and Witten, and relies on estimates of singular integral operators on weighted Hilbert spaces.
