We study the "three particle coupling" $\Gamma_{11}^{1}(\xi)$, in $2d$ Ising Field Theory in a magnetic field, as the function of the scaling parameter $\xi:=h/(-m)^{15/8}$, where $m \sim T_c-T$ and $h \sim H$ are scaled deviation from the…
It is widely believed that the critical properties of several planar lattice models, like the Eight Vertex or the Ashkin-Teller models, are well described by an effective Quantum Field Theory obtained as formal scaling limit. On the basis…
We consider the Ising model at its critical temperature with external magnetic field $ha^{15/8}$ on the square lattice with lattice spacing $a$. We show that the truncated two-point function in this model decays exponentially with a rate…
