Summary
We derive uniform surface order large deviation estimates for the block magnetization in finite volume Ising (or Potts) models with plus or free (or a combination of both) boundary conditions in the phase coexistence regime ford≧3. The results are valid up to a limit of slab-thresholds, conjectured to agree with the critical temperature. Our arguments are based on the renormalization of the random cluster model withq≧1 andd≧3, and on corresponding large deviation estimates for the occurrence in a box of a largest cluster with density close to the percolation probability. The results are new even for the case of independent percolation (q=1). As a byproduct of our methods, we obtain further results in the FK model concerning semicontinuity (inp andq) of the percolation probability, the second largest cluster in a box and the tail of the finite cluster size distribution.
