We present an alternative way to determine the unknown parameter associated to a gaussian approximation in a generic twodimensional model. Instead of the standard variational approach, we propose a procedure based on a quantitative prediction of conformal invariance, valid for systems in the scaling regime, away from criticality. We illustrate our idea by considering, as an example, the sine-Go...

[1] The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) provides quantitative measures of terrestrial water storage (TWS) change. GRACE data show a significant decrease in TWS in the lower (southern) La Plata river basin of South America over the period 2002–2009, consistent with recognized drought conditions in the region. GRACE data reveal a detailed picture of temporal and spatial evolution ...
