3D Ising model: a view from the conformal bootstrap island
[Modèle d’Ising en 3D, vu de l’île d’auto-amorçage conforme]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, Volume 21 (2020) no. 2, pp. 185-198.

Nous expliquerons comment utiliser les axiomes de la théorie conforme des champs pour faire des prédictions sur les exposants critiques des transitions de phase continues en trois dimensions, par une procédure dite “auto-amorçage conforme”. La méthode consiste à faire l’hypothèse que les fonctions de corrélation ont l’invariance conforme, puis à imposer certaines relations entre les fonctions de corrélation d’ordre différent. L’analyse numérique montre alors que ces conditions ne sont compatibles que si les exposants critiques ont des valeurs particulières, plus précisément s’ils se trouvent dans un îlot étroit de l’espace des paramètres.

We explain how the axioms of Conformal Field Theory are used to make predictions about critical exponents of continuous phase transitions in three dimensions, via a procedure called the conformal bootstrap. The method assumes conformal invariance of correlation functions, and imposes some relations between correlation functions of different orders. Numerical analysis shows that these conditions are incompatible unless the critical exponents take particular values, or more precisely that they must belong to a small island in the parameter space.
