UNIVERSALITY AND THE 5-DIMENSIONAL ISING-MODEL

We solve the long-standing discrepancy between Monte Carlo results and the renormalization prediction for the Binder cumulant of the five-di mensional Ising model. Our conclusions are based on accurate Monte Car lo data for systems with linear sizes up to L = 22. A detailed analysi s of the corrections to scaling allows the extrapolation of these resu lts to L = infinity. Our determination of the critical point, K-c = 0. 1139150 (4), is more than an order of magnitude more accurate than pre vious estimates.
