We provide evidence in favour of the conventional scaling picture, where the susceptibility scales as $O(L^2)$ inside a critical scaling window of width $O(1/L^2)$. Our results are based on Monte Carlo data gathered on system sizes up to $L=79$ (ca. three billion spins) for a wide range of temperatures near the critical point. We analyse the magnetisation distribution, the susceptibility and also the scaling and distribution of the size of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn cluster containing the origin. The probability of this cluster reaching the boundary determines the correlation length, and its behaviour agrees with the mean field critical exponent $\\delta=3$, that the scaling window has width $O(1/L^2)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-15T20:25:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free boundary conditions", "scaling window", "5d ising model", "mean field critical exponent", "monte carlo data" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1415954 } } }
