Abstract
Consider the long-range models on \({\mathbb{Z}^d}\) of random walk, self-avoiding walk, percolation and the Ising model, whose translation-invariant 1-step distribution/coupling coefficient decays as \({|x|^{-d-\alpha}}\) for some \({\alpha > 0}\) . In the previous work (Chen and Sakai in Ann Probab 43:639–681, 2015), we have shown in a unified fashion for all \({\alpha\ne2}\) that, assuming a bound on the “derivative” of the \({n}\) -step distribution (the compound-zeta distribution satisfies this assumed bound), the critical two-point function \({G_{p_{\rm c}}(x)}\) decays as \({|x|^{\alpha\wedge2-d}}\) above the upper-critical dimension \({d_{\rm c}\equiv(\alpha\wedge2)m}\) , where m = 2 for self-avoiding walk and the Ising model and m = 3 for percolation. In this paper, we show in a much simpler way, without assuming a bound on the derivative of the n-step distribution, that \({G_{p_{\rm c}}(x)}\) for the marginal case α = 2 decays as \({|x|^{2-d}/\log|x|}\) whenever d ≥ dc (with a large spread-out parameter L). This solves the conjecture in Chen and Sakai (2015), extended all the way down to d = dc, and confirms a part of predictions in physics (Brezin et al. in J Stat Phys 157:855–868, 2014). The proof is based on the lace expansion and new convolution bounds on power functions with log corrections.
