Abstract

For the two-dimensional random field Ising model where the random field is given by i.i.d.\ mean zero Gaussian variables with variance ϵ2\epsilon^2, we study (one natural notion of) the correlation length, which is the critical size of a box at which the influences of the random field and of the boundary condition on the spin magnetization are comparable. We show that as ϵ0\epsilon \to 0, at zero temperature the correlation length scales as eΘ(ϵ4/3)e^{\Theta(\epsilon^{-4/3})} (and our upper bound applies for all positive temperatures).

Section 4 explains (without claiming credit) the proof of greedy lattice animal using Talagrand (2014); Section 5 keeps our `original' proof as a record (which will be omitted from the journal version)
