Abstract

We prove that for the Ising model defined on the plane Z2\Z^2 at β=βc\beta=\beta_c, the average magnetization under an external magnetic field h>0h>0 behaves exactly like σ0βc,hh115.{\sigma_0}_{\beta_c, h} \asymp h^{\frac 1 {15}}\,. The proof, which is surprisingly simple compared to an analogous result for percolation (i.e. that θ(p)=(ppc)5/36+o(1)\theta(p)=(p-p_c)^{5/36+o(1)} on the triangular lattice \cite{\SmirnovWerner,\KestenScaling}) relies on the GHS inequality as well as the RSW theorem for FK percolation from \cite{\RSWfk}. The use of GHS to obtain inequalities involving critical exponents is not new; in this paper we show how it can be combined with RSW to obtain matching upper and lower bounds for the average magnetization.
