We study the critical Ising model on the square lattice in bounded simply connected domains with + and free boundary conditions. We relate the energy density of the model to a discrete fermionic correlator and compute its scaling limit by discrete complex analysis methods. As a consequence, we obtain a simple exact formula for the scaling limit of the energy field one-point function in terms of the hyperbolic metric. This confirms the predictions originating in physics, but also provides a higher precision.

We prove the existence of knotted and linked thin vortex tubes for steady solutions to the incompressible Euler equation in $${\mathbb{R}^{3}}$$ . More precisely, given a finite collection of (possibly linked and knotted) disjoint thin tubes in $${\mathbb{R}^{3}}$$ , we show that they can be transformed with a$C$^{$m$}-small diffeomorphism into a set of vortex tubes of a Beltrami field that tends to zero at infinity. The structure of the vortex lines in the tubes is extremely rich, presenting a positive-measure set of invariant tori and infinitely many periodic vortex lines. The problem of the existence of steady knotted thin vortex tubes can be traced back to Lord Kelvin.

We consider a measurable matrix-valued cocycle A: Z+ X Rd d, driven by a measurepreserving transformation T of a probability space (X,, ), with the integrability condition log+ A (1,) L1 (). We show that for -ae x X, if limn 1 n log A (n, x) v= 0 for all v Rd\{0}, then the trajectory {A (n, x) v} n= 0 is far away from 0 (ie lim supn A (n, x) v> 0) and there is some nonzero v such that lim supn A (n, x) v v. This improves the classical multiplicative ergodic theorem of Oseledec. We here present an application to linear random processes to illustrate the importance.
