Odd-width square-lattice strip conjecture for the critical crossing

About 19 years old · traced to

Let q0(L)q_0(L) denote the maximum real value in the limiting curve for a square-lattice strip of width LL with fully periodic boundary conditions. Odd-width square-lattice conjecture. For widths L=2p+1L=2p+1 with p≥1p\geq 1, one has q0(L)=3q_0(L)=3. This identifies an infinite sequence of strip widths whose crossing value equals the expected square-lattice critical value qc(sq)=3q_{\rm c}(\mathrm{sq})=3; the source reports exact values through width 1111, but gives no resolution of the conjecture.
