Abstract

We consider the FK-Ising model in two dimensions at criticality. We obtain bounds on crossing probabilities of arbitrary topological rectangles, uniform with respect to the boundary conditions, generalizing results of [DHN11] and [CS12]. Our result relies on new discrete complex analysis techniques, introduced in [Che12]. We detail some applications, in particular the computation of so-called universal exponents, the proof of quasi-multiplicativity properties of arm probabilities, and bounds on crossing probabilities for the classical Ising model.

Highlights

  • The Ising model is one of the simplest and most fundamental models in equilibrium statistical mechanics. It was proposed as a model for ferromagnetism by Lenz in 1920 [Len20], and studied by Ising [Isi25], in an attempt to provide a microscopic explanation for the thermodynamical behavior of magnets

  • We develop tools that improve the connection between the discrete Ising model and the continuous objects describing its scaling limit

  • Recall that the Ising model is a random assignment of ±1 spins to the vertices of a graph G, where the probability of a spin configurationx∈G is proportional to exp (−βH (σ))

Summary

Introduction

The Ising model is one of the simplest and most fundamental models in equilibrium statistical mechanics. Recall that the Ising model is a random assignment of ±1 spins to the vertices of a graph G, where the probability of a spin configuration (σx)x∈G is proportional to exp (−βH (σ)). Q > 0, the FK(p, q) model on a graph G is a measure on random subgraphs of G containing all its vertices: the probability of a configuration ω ⊂ G is proportional to p 1−p e(ω) qk(ω), where e (ω) is the number of edges of ω and k (ω) the number of clusters of ω (connected components of vertices). Edwards-Sokal coupling [ES88]: if one samples an FK-Ising configuration on G, assigns a ±1 spin to each cluster by an independent fair coin toss, and gives to each vertex of. FK-Ising interfaces at criticality were proved to converge to SLE(16/3) in [CDCH+14]
