2D Ising model at criticality is considered a classical example of conformal invariance in statistical mechanics, which is used inderiving many of its properties. However,• No mathematical proof has ever been given.• Most of the physics arguments concern nice domains
only or do not take boundary conditions into account, and thus only give evidence of the (weaker!) Mobius invariance of the scaling limit.• Only conformal invariance of correlations is usually
discussed, we ultimately discuss the full picture.

Theorem 1 [Smirnov]. Critical spin-Ising and FK-Ising models on the square lattice have conformally invariant scaling limits as the lattice mesh → 0. Interfaces converge to SLE(3) and SLE(16/3), respectively (and corresponding loop soups).Theorem 2 [Chelkak-Smirnov]. The convergence holds true on arbitrary isoradial graphs (universality for these models).

Outline: • Introduction • Discrete harmonic/holomorphic functions• Holomorphic observables in the Ising model• SLE and the interfaces in the Ising model• Further developments
We will discuss how to• Find an discrete holomorphical observable
with a conformally invariant scaling limit• Using one observable, construct (conformally
invariant) scaling limits of a domain wall
Possible further topics:• Retrieve needed a priori estimates from the observable• Construct the full scaling limit• Generalize to isoradial graphs (universality)• Perturbation p→pcrit — no conformal invariance
