Geometric Upper Critical Dimensions of the Ising Model

The upper critical dimension of the Ising model is known to be $d_c=4$, above which critical behavior is regarded as trivial. We hereby argue from extensive simulations that, in the random-cluster representation, the Ising model simultaneously exhibits two upper critical dimensions at $(d_c= 4, d_p=6)$, and critical clusters for $d \geq d_p$, except the largest one, are governed by exponents from percolation universality. We predict a rich variety of geometric properties and then provide strong evidence in dimensions from 4 to 7 and on complete graphs. Our findings significantly advance the understanding of the Ising model, which is a fundamental system in many branches of physics.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
