Abstract

We prove that in the scaling limit, the crossing probabilities of multiple interfaces in the critical planar Ising model with alternating boundary conditions are conformally invariant expressions given by the pure partition functions of multiple SLEκ with κ=3. In particular, this identifies the scaling limits with ratios of specific correlation functions of conformal field theory.
