Abstract (may include machine translation)

It has been known for more than a hundred years that one can drive a system around the liquid-gas critical point without any singular changes in the thermodynamic quantities. We argue that there are weak singularities in the droplet distribution corresponding to the disappearance of the surface tension of exponentially rare droplets off the coexistence curve. In the Coniglio-Klein-Swendsen-Wang droplet description of the Ising model such singularities occur in a natural way.
