Surface Critical Behaviour Of The Honeycomb O(n) Loop Model With Mixed Ordinary And Special Boundary Conditions

M.T. Batchelor and C.M. Yung

Abstract: The O(n) loop model on the honeycomb lattice with mixed ordinary and special boundary conditions is solved exactly by means of the Bethe ansatz. The calculation of the dominant finite-size corrections to the eigenspectrum yields the mixed boundary scaling index and the geometric scaling dimensions describing the universal surface critical behaviour. Exact results follow in the limit n=0 for the polymer adsorption transition with a mixed adsorbing and free boundary. These include the new configurational exponent ${\gamma}_1 = \frac{85}{64}$.
