Abstract

We study the near-critical FK-Ising model. First, a determination of the correlation length defined via crossing probabilities is provided. Second, a phenomenon about the near-critical behavior of FK-Ising is highlighted, which is completely missing from the case of standard percolation: in any monotone coupling of FK configurations ωp\omega_p (e.g., in the one introduced in [Gri95]), as one raises pp near pcp_c, the new edges arrive in a self-organized way, so that the correlation length is not governed anymore by the number of pivotal edges at criticality.

34 pages, 8 figures. This is a streamlined version; the previous one contains more explanations and additional material on exceptional times in FK models with general $q$. Furthermore, the statement and proof of Theorem 1.2 have slightly changed
