Critical surface fugacity conjecture for the rotated honeycomb O(n)O(n) loop model

Let the O(n)O(n) loop model be defined on the semi-infinite honeycomb lattice with the boundary oriented as in Figure~(b). For n[2,2]n\in[-2,2], assign fugacity

xc(n)=12+2nx_{\rm c}(n)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}}}

to occupied vertices and an additional fugacity yy to occupied boundary vertices. Critical surface fugacity conjecture. The model undergoes a surface transition at

y=yc(n)=2+2n1+2n2+2n.y=y_{\rm c}(n)=\sqrt{\frac{2+\sqrt{2-n}}{1+\sqrt{2-n}-\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2-n}}}}.

The value is proved to be the critical surface fugacity for self-avoiding walks when n=0n=0; the conjecture extends this result to the full range n[2,2]n\in[-2,2] for the O(n)O(n) loop model.
