Uniqueness of near-critical Ising scaling limits

Let λ0\lambda\neq 0 be fixed and let (ωn,σn)(\omega_n,\sigma_n) be an FK-Ising coupling of an Ising model at β=βc+λn\beta=\beta_c+\frac{\lambda}{n} in [1,1]21nZ2[-1,1]^2\cap\frac{1}{n}\mathbb{Z}^2, with any of the boundary conditions a)a), b)b), or c)c) listed at the beginning of the section. The pair may be viewed as a random point in several topological spaces: FK clusters with prescribed colours under the Schramm–Smirnov quad-topology or a Hausdorff-like topology on coloured loops; the spin configuration as a random magnetic field Φn\Phi_n in a negative-index Sobolev space; or as a collection of loops separating ++ and - clusters. Uniqueness conjecture. Under each of these topologies, (ωn,σn)(\omega_n,\sigma_n) should converge to a unique limiting λ\lambda-near-critical scaling limit. This concerns the existence and uniqueness of near-critical continuum limits, which is not known in general, although several corresponding critical scaling limits and topological equivalences are established.
