Statistical mechanics models undergoing a phase transition often exhibit rich, fractal-like behaviour at their critical points, which are described in part by critical exponents – the indices governing the power-law growth or decay of various quantities of interest. These exponents are expected to depend on the dimension but not on the microscopic details of the model such as the choice of...
