We study the massless flows described by the staircase model introduced by Al.B. Zamolodchikov through the analytic continuation of the sinh-Gordon S-matrix, focusing on the renormalisation group flow from the tricritical to the critical Ising model. We show that the properly defined roaming limits of certain sinh-Gordon form factors are identical to the form factors of the order and disorder operators for the massless flow. As a by-product, we also construct form factors for a semi-local field in the sinh-Gordon model, which can be associated with the twist field in the ultraviolet limiting free massless bosonic theory.

We study the Ising model two-point diagonal correlation function $ C(N,N)$ by presenting an exponential and form factor expansion in an integral representation which differs from the known expansion of Wu, McCoy, Tracy and Barouch. We extend this expansion, weighting, by powers of a variable $lambda$, the $j$-particle contributions, $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$. The corresponding $ lambda$ extension of the two-point diagonal correlation function, $ C(N,N; lambda)$, is shown, for arbitrary $lambda$, to be a solution of the sigma form of the Painlev{e} VI equation introduced by Jimbo and Miwa. Linear differential equations for the form factors $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$ are obtained and shown to have both a ``Russian doll nesting, and a decomposition of the differential operators as a direct sum of operators equivalent to symmetric powers of the differential operator of the elliptic integral $ E$. Each $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$ is expressed polynomially in terms of the elliptic integrals $ E$ and $ K$. The scaling limit of these differential operators breaks the direct sum structure but not the ``Russian doll structure. The previous $ lambda$-extensions, $ C(N,N; lambda)$ are, for singled-out values $ lambda= cos(pi m/n)$ ($m, n$ integers), also solutions of linear differential equations. These solutions of Painleve VI are actually algebraic functions, being associated with modular curves.
We discuss the 4pt function of the critical 3d Ising model, extracted from recent conformal bootstrap results. We focus on the non-gaussianity Q - the ratio of the 4pt function to its gaussian part given by three Wick contractions. This ratio reveals significant non-gaussianity of the critical fluctuations. The bootstrap results are consistent with a rigorous inequality due to Lebowitz and Aizenman, which limits Q to lie between 1/3 and 1.
How can a renormalization group fixed point be scale invariant without being conformal? Polchinski (1988) showed that this may happen if the theory contains a virial current -- a non-conserved vector operator of dimension exactly $(d-1)$, whose divergence expresses the trace of the stress tensor. We point out that this scenario can be probed via lattice Monte Carlo simulations, using the critical 3d Ising model as an example. Our results put a lower bound $Delta_V>5.0$ on the scaling dimension of the lowest virial current candidate $V$, well above 2 expected for the true virial current. This implies that the critical 3d Ising model has no virial current, providing a structural explanation for the conformal invariance of the model.
We perform Monte-Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional Ising model at the critical temperature and zero magnetic field. We simulate the system in a ball with free boundary conditions on the two dimensional spherical boundary. Our results for one and two point functions in this geometry are consistent with the predictions from the conjectured conformal symmetry of the critical Ising model.
By considering the continuum scaling limit of the $A_{4}$ RSOS lattice model of Andrews-Baxter-Forrester with integrable boundaries, we derive excited state TBA equations describing the boundary flows of the tricritical Ising model. Fixing the bulk weights to their critical values, the integrable boundary weights admit a parameter $xi $ which plays the role of the perturbing boundary field $phi_{1,3}$ and induces the renormalization group flow between boundary fixed points. The boundary TBA equations determining the RG flows are derived in the $mathcal{B}_{(1,2)}to mathcal{B}_{(2,1)}$ example. The induced map between distinct Virasoro characters of the theory are specified in terms of distribution of zeros of the double row transfer matrix.
