Near-critical massive Gaussian free field conjecture for the high-dimensional Ising model

From papers

Consider the near-critical Ising model on aZda\mathbb{Z}^d with d>4d>4, at β=βc\beta=\beta_c, with external field H=a(d+2)/2hH=a^{(d+2)/2}h for some h>0h>0. Let δx\delta_x denote the unit Dirac point measure at xx, and define

Φa,h:=a(d+2)/2xaZd[σxσxZd,H]δx.\Phi^{a,h}:=a^{(d+2)/2}\sum_{x\in a\mathbb{Z}^d}[\sigma_x-\langle\sigma_x\rangle_{\mathbb{Z}^d,H}]\delta_x.

Near-critical scaling-limit conjecture. As a0a\downarrow0,

Φa,hmassive Gaussian free field on Rd.\Phi^{a,h}\Longrightarrow \text{massive Gaussian free field on }\mathbb{R}^d.

Here \Longrightarrow denotes convergence in distribution. The covariance of the limiting field is proportional to the kernel of (Δ+m2)1(-\Delta+m^2)^{-1} for some m>0m>0, and therefore decays exponentially. This is the proposed infinite-volume near-critical scaling limit in dimensions above four; the supplied passage gives no resolution status.
