Abstract: We find the scaling limits of a general class of boundary-to-boundary connection probabilities and multiple interfaces in the critical planar FK-Ising model, thus verifying predictions from the physics literature. We also discuss conjectural formulas using Coulomb-gas integrals for the corresponding quantities in general critical planar random-cluster models with cluster-weight $qin[1,4)$. Thus far, proofs for convergence, including ours, rely on discrete complex analysis techniques and are beyond reach for other values of $q$ than the FK-Ising model ($q=2$). Given the convergence of interfaces, the conjectural formulas for other values of $q$ could be verified similarly with relatively minor technical work. The limit interfaces are variants of SLE${}_{k}appa$ curves (with $kappa=16/3$ for $q=2$). Their partition functions, that give the connection probabilities, also satisfy properties predicted for correlation functions in conformal field theory (CFT), expected to describe scaling limits of critical random-cluster models. We verify these properties for all $qin[1,4)$, thus providing further evidence of the expected CFT description of these models.
