Abstract: A matrix is called totally positive (resp. totally nonnegative) if all its minors are positive (resp. nonnegative). Consider the Ising model with free boundary conditions and no external field on a planar graph G. Let $$a_1,\dots ,a_k,b_k,\dots ,b_1$$ be vertices placed in a counterclockwise order on the outer face of G. We show that the $$k\times k$$ matrix of the two-point spin correlation functions is totally nonnegative. Moreover, $$\det M > 0$$ if and only if there exist k pairwise vertex-disjoint paths that connect $$a_i$$ with $$b_i$$ . We also compute the scaling limit at criticality of the probability that there are k parallel and disjoint connections between $$a_i$$ and $$b_i$$ in the double random current model. Our results are based on a new distributional relation between double random currents and random alternating flows of Talaska [37]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
