TITLE: "Scaling limits of spin correlations in the critical 2D Ising model".

ABSTRACT: We will describe a rigorous proof of existence and conformal invariance
of scaling limits of spin correlations in the critical Ising model on simply-connected
domains. The proof employs techniques from discrete complex analysis (holomorphicity
of Smirnov's fermionic observables) along with some probabilistic arguments. Joint
work with D. Chelkak and C. Hongler.
