Circle-average process of the Gaussian free field

Let ${\rho }_t$ be uniform measure on the circle of radius $e^{-t}$ around the origin in the unit disc. The process $X_t=(h,{\rho }_t)$ is the circle-average process. The Domain Markov property of the Gaussian free field and the mean value property for harmonic functions imply that its increments are independent and stationary.

The circle-average process of a zero-boundary Gaussian free field in the unit disc has the law of a constant multiple of Brownian motion. It is a continuous centered Gaussian process with stationary increments and independent increments and starts at zero.
