Léonie Papon: Interface scaling limit for the critical planar Ising model perturbed by a magnetic field

Abstract: In this talk, I will consider the interface separating +1 and -1 spins in the critical planar Ising model with Dobrushin boundary conditions perturbed by an external magnetic field. I will prove that this interface has a scaling limit. This result holds when the Ising model is defined on a bounded and simply connected subgraph of \delta \mathbb{Z}^2, with \delta >0. I will show that if the scaling of the external field is of order \delta^{15/8}, then, as \delta \to 0, the interface converges in law to a random curve whose law is conformally covariant and absolutely continuous with respect to SLE_3. This limiting law is a massive version of SLE_3 in the sense of Makarov and Smirnov and I will give an explicit expression for its Radon-Nikodym derivative with respect to SLE_3. I will also prove that if the scaling of the external field is of order \delta^{15/8}g_1(\delta) with g_1(\delta)\to 0, then the interface converges in law to SLE_3. In contrast, I will show that if the scaling of the external field is of order \delta^{15/8}g_2(\delta) with g_2(\delta) \to \infty, then the interface degenerates to a boundary arc.
