Ising Model: Local Spin Correlations and Conformal Invariance

Clément Hongler, Sung Chul Park

We study the 2-dimensional Ising model at critical temperature on a simply connected subset of the square grid Z2. The scaling limit of the critical Ising model is conjectured to be described by Conformal Field Theory; in particular, there is expected to b ...
