Abstract
The critical properties of the 2D Ising and 3-state Potts models are investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. Special interest is given to measurement of 3-point correlation functions and associated universal objects, i.e. structure constants. The results agree well with predictions coming from conformal field theory confirming, for these examples, the correctness of the Coulomb gas formalism and the bootstrap method.
