Abstract
We consider the continuous time, zero-temperature heat-bath dynamics for the nearest-neighbor Ising model on \(\mathbb Z^2\) with positive magnetic field. For a system of size \(L\in{\mathbb N}\), we start with initial condition σ such that \(\sigma_x=-1\) if \(x\in[-L,L]^2\) and \(\sigma_x=+1\) and investigate the scaling limit of the set of • spins when both time and space are rescaled by L. We compare the obtained result and its proof with the case of zero-magnetic fields, for which a scaling result was proved by Lacoin et al. (J Eur Math Soc, in press). In that case, the time-scaling is diffusive and the scaling limit is given by anisotropic motion by curvature.
