WorkshopsCritical scaling limits and measure ensembles

In statistical physics, systems like percolation and Ising models are of particular interest at their critical points. Critical systems have long-range correlations that typically decay like inverse powers. Their continuum scaling limits, in which the lattice spacing shrinks to zero, are believed to have universal dimension-dependent properties. In recent years critical two-dimensional scaling limits have been studied by Schramm, Lawler, Werner, Smirnov and others with a focus on the boundaries of large clusters. In the scaling limit these can be described by Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) curves.

In this talk, I'll discuss a different but related approach, which focuses on cluster area measures. In the case of the two-dimensional Ising model, this leads to a representation of the continuum Ising magnetization field in terms of sums of certain measure ensembles with random signs. This is based on joint work with F. Camia (PNAS 106 (2009) 5457-5463) and on work in progress with F. Camia and C. Garban.
