Domain walls and Schramm-Loewner evolution in the random-field Ising model — •Jacob Stevenson and Martin Weigel — Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Mainz

The concept of Schramm-Loewner evolution provides a unified description of domain boundaries of many lattice spin systems in two dimensions, possibly even including systems with quenched disorder. Here, we study domain walls in the random-field Ising model. Although, in two dimensions, this system does not show an ordering transition to a ferromagnetic state, in the presence of a uniform external field spin domains percolate beyond a critical field strength. Using exact ground state calculations of very large systems, we examine ground state domain walls near this percolation transition finding strong evidence that they are conformally invariant and satisfy the domain Markov property, implying compatibility with Schramm-Loewner evolution with parameter κ = 6. These results might pave the way for new field-theoretic treatments of systems with quenched disorder.
