Critical exponents for the FPL^2 model

Abstract

Starting from the Bethe ansatz solution we derive a set of coupled non-linear integral equations for the fully packed double loop model (FPL^2) on the square lattice. As an application we find exact expressions for the central charge and for the scaling dimension corresponding to the simplest charge excitation. We study numerically the low-lying excitations corresponding to more general perturbations of the ground state and discover that the corresponding scaling dimensions are well described by the Cartan matrix of sl_4.

Exact Results for Hamiltonian Walks from the Solution of the Fully Packed Loop Model on the Honeycomb Lattice

Murray T. Batchelor, Junji Suzuki, C M Yung

We derive the nested Bethe ansatz solution of the fully packed $\mathrm{O}(n)$ loop model on the honeycomb lattice. From this solution we derive the bulk free energy per site along with the central charge and geometric scaling dimensions describing the critical behavior. In the $n=0$ limit we obtain the exact compact exponents $\ensuremath{\gamma}=1$ and $\ensuremath{\nu}=\frac{1}{2}$ for Hamiltonian walks, along with the exact value ${\ensuremath{\kappa}}^{2}=3\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$ for the connective constant (entropy). Although having sets of scaling dimensions in common, our results indicate that Hamiltonian walks on the honeycomb and Manhattan lattices lie in different universality classes.

On the universality of fully packed loop models

Jesper Lykke Jacobsen

Fully packed loop (FPL) models on the square and the honeycomb lattice constitute new classes of critical behaviour, distinct from those of the low-temperature O( n ) model. A simple symmetry argument suggests that such compact phases are only possible when the underlying lattice is bipartite. Motivated by the hope of identifying further compact universality classes we therefore study the FPL model on the square-octagon lattice. Surprisingly, this model is only critical for loop weights n <1.88, and its scaling limit coincides with the dense phase of the O( n ) model. For n = 2 it is exactly equivalent to the self-dual 9-state Potts model. These analytical predictions are confirmed by numerical transfer matrix results. Our conclusions extend to a large class of bipartite decorated lattices.

Algebraic Bethe ansatz for the FPL2model

Jesper Lykke Jacobsen, Paul Zinn-Justin

An exact solution of the model of fully packed loops of two colours on a square lattice has recently been proposed by Dei Cont and Nienhuis using the coordinate Bethe ansatz approach. We point out here a simpler alternative, in which the transfer matrix is directly identified as a product of R -matrices; this allows us to apply the (nested) algebraic Bethe ansatz, which leads to the same Bethe equations. We comment on some of the applications of this result.

Critical properties of the Izergin-Korepin and solvable O(n) models and their related quantum spin chains

S. Ole Warnaar, Murray T. Batchelor, Bernard Nienhuis

The central charge of the Izergin-Korepin model the corresponding quantum spin chain, and the O (n) model is calculated analytically via the Bethe ansatz. The calculation extends a technique recently developed for the Zamolodchikov-Fateev model. In addition critical exponents and the central charge for these models are obtained from numerical solutions of Bethe ansatz equations for finite systems. As a physical application the authors find the exponents v=12/23 and gamma =53/46 for the Theta -transition of polymers in two dimensions.

The packing of two species of polygons on the square lattice

David Dei Cont, Bernard Nienhuis

We decorate the square lattice with two species of polygons under the constraint that every lattice edge is covered by only one polygon and every vertex is visited by both types of polygons. We end up with a 24-vertex model which is known in the literature as the fully packed double loop model (FPL 2 ). In the particular case in which the fugacities of the polygons are the same, the model admits an exact solution. The solution is obtained using coordinate Bethe ansatz and provides a closed expression for the free energy. In particular, we find the free energy of the four-colouring model and the double Hamiltonian walk and recover the known entropy of the Ice model. When both fugacities are set equal to 2 the model undergoes an infinite-order phase transition.

Critical behaviour of the fully packed loop model on the square lattice

Murray T. Batchelor, Henk W. J. Blöte, Bernard Nienhuis +1 more

We investigate the critical behaviour of the fully packed O(n) loop model on the square lattice in which each vertex is visited once by a loop. A transfer-matrix analysis shows that this model can be interpreted as a superposition of a low-temperature O(n) model and an solid-on-solid (SOS) model, as for the fully packed model on the honeycomb lattice. However, not all of the critical exponents are the same for both lattices. In contrast, the fully packed model on the triangular lattice appears to behave as a pure low-temperature O(n) model.
