Ioffe D. "Exact large deviation bounds up to T_c for the Ising model in two dimensions" (45K, latex) ABSTRACT. We prove an upper large deviation bound for the block spin magnetization in the 2D Ising model in the phase coexistence region. The precise rate given by the Wulff construction is shown to hold true for all beta >beta_c. Those results yield an exact second order large deviation theory up to the critical temperature.
