We consider the critical spread-out contact process in Z^d with dge1, whose infection range is denoted by Lge1. In this paper, we investigate the r-point function tau_{vec t}^{(r)}(vec x) for rge3, which is the probability that, for all i=1,...,r-1, the individual located at x_iin Z^d is infected at time t_i by the individual at the origin oin Z^d at time 0. Together with the results of the 2-point function in [van der Hofstad and Sakai, Electron. J. Probab. 9 (2004), 710-769; arXiv:math/0402049], on which our proofs crucially rely, we prove that the r-point functions converge to the moment measures of the canonical measure of super-Brownian motion above the upper-critical dimension 4. We also prove partial results for dle4 in a local mean-field setting.

We present a unified view of finite-size scaling (FSS) in dimension d above the upper critical dimension, for both free and periodic boundary conditions. We find that the modified FSS proposed some time ago to allow for violation of hyperscaling due to a dangerous irrelevant variable, applies only to k=0 fluctuations, and so there is only a single exponent eta describing power-law decay of correlations at criticality, in contrast to recent claims. With free boundary conditions the finite-size shift is greater than the rounding. Nonetheless, using T-T_L, where T_L is the finite-size pseudocritical temperature, rather than T-T_c, as the scaling variable, the data does collapse on to a scaling form which includes the behavior both at T_L, where the susceptibility chi diverges like L^{d/2} and at the bulk T_c where it diverges like L^2. These claims are supported by large-scale simulations on the 5-dimensional Ising model.
We consider the $n$-component $|varphi|^4$ lattice spin model ($n ge 1$) and the weakly self-avoiding walk ($n=0$) on $mathbb{Z}^d$, in dimensions $d=1,2,3$. We study long-range models based on the fractional Laplacian, with spin-spin interactions or walk step probabilities decaying with distance $r$ as $r^{-(d+alpha)}$ with $alpha in (0,2)$. The upper critical dimension is $d_c=2alpha$. For $epsilon >0$, and $alpha = frac 12 (d+epsilon)$, the dimension $d=d_c-epsilon$ is below the upper critical dimension. For small $epsilon$, weak coupling, and all integers $n ge 0$, we prove that the two-point function at the critical point decays with distance as $r^{-(d-alpha)}$. This sticking of the critical exponent at its mean-field value was first predicted in the physics literature in 1972. Our proof is based on a rigorous renormalisation group method. The treatment of observables differs from that used in recent work on the nearest-neighbour 4-dimensional case, via our use of a cluster expansion.
Recently, Holmes and Perkins identified conditions which ensure that for a class of critical lattice models the scaling limit of the range is the range of super-Brownian motion. One of their conditions is an estimate on a spatial moment of order higher than four, which they verified for the sixth moment for spread-out lattice trees in dimensions $d>8$. Chen and Sakai have proved the required moment estimate for spread-out critical oriented percolation in dimensions $d+1>4+1$. We prove estimates on all moments for the spread-out critical contact process in dimensions $d>4$, which in particular fulfills the spatial moment condition of Holmes and Perkins. Our method of proof is relatively simple, and, as we show, it applies also to oriented percolation and lattice trees. Via the convergence results of Holmes and Perkins, the upper bounds on the spatial moments can in fact be promoted to asymptotic formulas with explicit constants.
Following similar analysis to that in Lacoin (PTRF 159, 777-808, 2014), we can show that the quenched critical point for self-avoiding walk on random conductors on the d-dimensional integer lattice is almost surely a constant, which does not depend on the location of the reference point. We provide its upper and lower bounds that are valid for all dimensions.
We prove that the Fourier transform of the properly-scaled normalized two-point function for sufficiently spread-out long-range oriented percolation with index alpha>0 converges to e^{-C|k|^{alphawedge2}} for some Cin(0,infty) above the upper-critical dimension 2(alphawedge2). This answers the open question remained in the previous paper [arXiv:math/0703455]. Moreover, we show that the constant C exhibits crossover at alpha=2, which is a result of interactions among occupied paths. The proof is based on a new method of estimating fractional moments for the spatial variable of the lace-expansion coefficients.
