Rapid phase ordering of Ising dynamics on $\mathbb Z^2$
Abstract
We consider the phase ordering problem for the low-temperature Ising dynamics initialized from a biased and disordered initialization. Work of Fontes, Schonmann, Sidoravicius (2002) showed that at zero-temperature, Ising Glauber dynamics on for initialized from i.i.d. spins on each vertex that are with sufficiently large probability, absorbs into the all-plus configuration quickly. We prove that analogous behavior holds throughout the low-temperature regime of the Ising model in two dimensions. Namely, there exists such that Ising Glauber dynamics initialized from i.i.d. spins that are with probability , run at any low temperature converges rapidly to the plus phase measure . The result is proved using a spacetime multiscale coupling valid in any , that boosts a uniform-in- quasi-polynomial bound on the mixing time of Ising dynamics with plus boundary conditions, into rapid phase ordering from biased initializations with no boundary conditions.
