Universality in disordered systems: the case of the random-field Ising model

Universality in disordered systems has been severely questioned, especially the last 20 years where the development of sophisticated algorithms and the access to supercomputing resources provided us with numerical data of unprecedented accuracy. Playing devil’s advocate however, in this talk I will present an unexpected instance of universality in disordered systems, well-hidden under the presence of strong scaling corrections, using as a platform the random-field Ising model in three-dimensions
