Critical-point limit law for Temperley's continuous model (Q1073468)

We consider the probability distribution of the volume \(V_ N\) in an N- particle Temperley's model of liquid-gas condensation. We rigorously prove that the critical-point limit law of \((V_ N-Nv_ c)/N^{3/4}\) exists and has probability density proportional to \(\exp (-cx^ 4)\) \((c>0)\). This result shows that the probabilistic approach to critical phenomena may be extended to continuous fluid systems.
