Operator Spectrum and Exact Exponents of the Fully Packed Loop Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a Coulomb gas description of the critical fluctuations in the fully packed loop model on the honeycomb lattice. We identify the complete operator spectrum of this model in terms of electric and magnetic vector-charges, and we calculate the scaling dimensions of these operators exactly. We also study the geometrical properties of loops in this model, and we derive exact results for the fractal dimension and the loop size distribution function. A review of the many different representations of this model that have recently appeared in the literature, is given. PACS numbers: 05.50.+q, 75.10.Hk, 11.25.Hf

From Fully-Packed Loops to Meanders: Exact Exponents
We address the meander problem “enumerate all topologically inequivalent configurations of a closed nonselfintersecting plane curve intersecting a given line through a fixed number of points”. We show that meanders may be viewed as the configurations of a suitable fully-packed loop statistical model defined on a random surface. Using standard results relating critical singularities of a lattice...
متن کاملExact Meander Asymptotics: a Numerical Check
This note addresses the meander enumeration problem: “Count all topologically inequivalent configurations of a closed planar non self-intersecting curve crossing a line through a given number of points”. We review a description of meanders introduced recently in terms of the coupling to gravity of a two-flavored fully-packed loop model. The subsequent analytic predictions for various meandric c...
متن کاملCritical exponents for the FPL 2 model
Starting from the Bethe ansatz solution we derive a set of coupled non-linear integral equations for the fully packed double loop model (FPL) 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 perturbat...
متن کاملExact results for Hamiltonian walks from the solution of the fully packed loop model on the honeycomb lattice.
We derive the nested Bethe Ansatz solution of the fully packed 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 behaviour. In the n = 0 limit we obtain the exact compact exponents γ = 1 and ν = 1/2 for Hamiltonian walks, along with the exact value κ2 = 3 √ 3...
متن کاملConformal field theory of the Flory model of polymer melting.
We study the scaling limit of a fully packed loop model in two dimensions, where the loops are endowed with a bending rigidity. The scaling limit is described by a three-parameter family of conformal field theories, which we characterize via its Coulomb-gas representation. One choice for two of the three parameters reproduces the critical line of the exactly solvable six-vertex model, while ano...
