Abstract

We consider long-range self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d that are defined by power-law decaying pair potentials of the form D(x)xdαD(x)\asymp|x|^{-d-\alpha} with α>0\alpha>0. The upper-critical dimension dcd_{\mathrm{c}} is 2(α2)2(\alpha\wedge2) for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model, and 3(α2)3(\alpha\wedge2) for percolation. Let α2\alpha\ne2 and assume certain heat-kernel bounds on the nn-step distribution of the underlying random walk. We prove that, for d>dcd>d_{\mathrm{c}} (and the spread-out parameter sufficiently large), the critical two-point function Gpc(x)G_{p_{\mathrm{c}}}(x) for each model is asymptotically Cxα2dC|x|^{\alpha\wedge2-d}, where the constant C(0,)C\in(0,\infty) is expressed in terms of the model-dependent lace-expansion coefficients and exhibits crossover between α<2\alpha<2 and α>2\alpha>2. We also provide a class of random walks that satisfy those heat-kernel bounds.
