We consider Glauber dynamics for the Ising model on the complete graph on n vertices, known as the Curie-Weiss model. It is well-known that the mixing-time in the high temperature regime (β < 1) has order n log n, whereas the mixing-time in the case β > 1 is exponential in n. Recently, Levin, Luczak and Peres proved that for any fixed β < 1 there is cutoff at time \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

\begin{document}$${\frac{1}{2(1-\beta)}n\log n}$$\end{document} with a window of order n, whereas the mixing-time at the critical temperature β = 1 is Θ(n3/2). It is natural to ask how the mixing-time transitions from Θ(n log n) to Θ(n3/2) and finally to exp (Θ(n)). That is, how does the mixing-time behave when β = β(n) is allowed to tend to 1 as n → ∞. In this work, we obtain a complete characterization of the mixing-time of the dynamics as a function of the temperature, as it approaches its critical point βc = 1. In particular, we find a scaling window of order \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}
