Title:Exponential decay for the near-critical scaling limit of the planar Ising model Abstract: We consider the Ising model at its critical temperature with external magnetic field $ha^{15/8}$ on the square lattice with lattice spacing a. We show that the truncated two-point function in this model decays exponentially with a rate independent of a. We also show exponential decay in the near-critical scaling limit Euclidean magnetization field. For the lattice model with a=1, the mass (inverse correlation length) is of order $h^{8/15}$ as $h↓ 0$ for the Euclidean field, it equals exactly $C h^{8/15}$ for some C. Our arguments combine lattice and continuum FK representations, including coupled conformal loop and measure ensembles, showing that such coupled ensembles can be useful even in the study of near-critical scaling limits.
