An explicit formula for the interface tension of the 2D Potts model
Christian Borgs, Wolfhard Janke E
We consider the exact correlation length calculations for the two-dimensional Potts model at the transition point βt by Klümper, Schadschneider and Zittartz, and by Buffenoir and Wallon. We argue that the correlation length calculated by the latter authors is the correlation length in the disordered phase and then combine their result with duality and the assumption of complete wetting to give an explicit formula for the order-disorder interface tension σod of this model. The result is used to clarify a controversy stemming from different numerical simulations of σod.
