- Title
- Rotational and conformal invariance of the critical 3D Ising scaling limit
- Plain
- At its critical point the 3D Ising model is believed to look the same under rotations and angle-preserving maps (conformal symmetry), which physicists use to compute exponents. In 2D this was proven; in 3D even rotation invariance is unproven.
- Precise
- Show that the scaling limit of critical spin correlations on $Z^3$ exists, is rotation invariant, and transforms covariantly under conformal maps of $R^3$ with scaling dimension $\Delta_{\sigma}\ \text{approximately}\ 0.51815$. Answer: a proof.
- Settled by
- A proof of rotation invariance of the 3D scaling limit, then of conformal covariance.
