Batchelor–Yung surface fugacity conjecture for the honeycomb O(n) loop model

From papers

For the O(n)O(n) loop model on the semi-infinite hexagonal lattice with n[2,2]n\in[-2,2], associate a fugacity xc(n)=1/2+2nx_{\rm c}(n) = 1/\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}} with occupied vertices and an additional fugacity yy with occupied vertices on the boundary. Batchelor–Yung conjecture. The model undergoes a special surface transition at

y=yc(n)=1+22n.y = y_{\rm c}(n) = 1+\frac{2}{\sqrt{2-n}}.

Batchelor and Yung obtained this value using integrability and assumptions analogous to those used by Nienhuis for the bulk critical point. The conjecture concerns the adsorption transition of the honeycomb-lattice O(n)O(n) model for n[2,2]n\in[-2,2].
