Square-lattice toroidal phase-diagram conjecture

For a zero-temperature square-lattice Potts antiferromagnet on toroidal strips, let qq be the Potts parameter, let q0(L)q_0(L) be the relevant real crossing, and let \ell denote the number of bridges. Square-lattice phase-diagram conjecture. At real qq, the phases are: (a) q(,0)(q0(L),)q\in(-\infty,0)\cup(q_0(L),\infty), characterized by =0\ell=0 and amplitude b(0)=1b^{(0)}=1; (b) q(0,2)q\in(0,2), characterized by =1\ell=1 and amplitude b(1)=q1b^{(1)}=q-1; and (c) q(2,q0(L))q\in(2,q_0(L)), characterized by =2\ell=2 and amplitude b1(2)=q(q3)/2b^{(2)}_1=q(q-3)/2. The claim summarizes empirical limiting-curve data for widths 2L122\leq L\leq12, where 2q0(L)32\leq q_0(L)\leq3; no proof or resolution is given.
