Abstract
The four-dimensional Ising model is studied to probe the possibility of observing in Monte Carlo simulations the logarithmic corrections to the mean-field theory near criticality. The finite-size-scaling behavior for the correlation length is proposed. The scaling forms of the finite-size renormalized coupling, susceptibility, and fourth field derivative at the renormalized tree-level approximation are derived. These results are used to analyze simulation data of the simple hypercubic lattices of sizes 4\ensuremath{\le}L\ensuremath{\le}14, near criticality. Our simulation results are in agreement with the presence of logarithmic corrections and recent field-theoretical calculations of the specific heat. The approach to the nonscattering theory is observed and is consistent with the predicted logarithmic finite-size dependence.
