Universal finite-size scaling profiles on the torus
Universal finite-size scaling profiles on the torus
Let and . For each of the models self-avoiding walk, Ising, , percolation, and branched polymers, let denote the torus susceptibility, the torus two-point function, and . Parametrize the critical window by
where is the infinite-volume critical point, , and means . Then there is a model-dependent profile function , common to the SR and LR versions of the model, and positive constants , such that
and, for every ,
Universal-profile conjecture. The preceding susceptibility and two-point-function asymptotics hold for every listed model, with the same profile function for its SR and LR versions.
The conjecture gives precise universal finite-size scaling throughout the critical window, beyond the existence of a plateau. The surrounding text notes rigorous profile results on the hierarchical lattice and complete-graph analogues, but does not establish the stated lattice result.
