We provide a nontrivial test of supersymmetry in the random-field Ising model at five spatial dimensions, by means of extensive zero-temperature numerical simulations. Indeed, supersymmetry relates correlation functions in a D-dimensional disordered system with some other correlation functions in a D-2 clean system. We first show how to check these relationships in a finite-size scaling calculation and then perform a high-accuracy test. While the supersymmetric predictions are satisfied even to our high accuracy at D=5, they fail to describe our results at D=4.

We propose a solution to the puzzle of dimensional reduction in the random field Ising model, asking the following: To what random problem in D=d+2 dimensions does a pure system in d dimensions correspond? For a continuum binary fluid and an Ising lattice gas, we prove that the mean density and other observables equal those of a similar model in D dimensions, but with infinite range interactions and correlated disorder in the extra two dimensions. There is no conflict with rigorous results that the finite range model orders in D=3. Our arguments avoid the use of replicas and perturbative field theory, being based on convergent cluster expansions, which, for the lattice gas, may be extended to the critical point by the Lee-Yang theorem.

Domain walls in magnets, vortex lattices in superconductors, contact lines at depinning, and many other systems can be modeled as an elastic system subject to quenched disorder. The ensuing field theory possesses a well-controlled perturbative expansion around its upper critical dimension. Contrary to standard field theory, the renormalization group (RG) flow involves a function, the disorder correlator Δ(), and is therefore termed the functional RG.

By the Parisi-Sourlas conjecture, the critical point of a theory with random field (RF) disorder is described by a supersymmeric (SUSY) conformal field theory (CFT), related to a d-2 dimensional CFT without SUSY. Numerical studies indicate that this is true for the RF ϕ^{3} model but not for the RF ϕ^{4} model in d<5 dimensions. Here we argue that the SUSY fixed point is not reached because of new relevant SUSY-breaking interactions.

We provide a theoretical analysis by means of the nonperturbative functional renormalization group (NP-FRG) of the corrections to scaling in the critical behavior of the random-field Ising model (RFIM) near the dimension d_{DR}≈5.1 that separates a region where the renormalized theory at the fixed point is supersymmetric and critical scaling satisfies the d→d-2 dimensional reduction property (d>d_{DR}) from a region where both supersymmetry and dimensional reduction break down at criticality (d
