Abstract
We study the total variation (TV) distance between the laws of the 2D Ising/FK-Ising model in a box of side-length with and without an i.i.d.\ Gaussian external field with variance . Letting the external field strength depend on the size of the box, we derive a phase transition for each model depending on the order of . For the random field Ising model, the critical order for is . For the random field FK-Ising model, the critical order depends on the temperature regime: for , and the critical order for is, respectively, , and . In each case, as the TV distance under consideration converges to when is above the respective critical order and converges to when below.
