Triangular-lattice q0 convergence conjecture

At least 18 years old · documented by

Let q0(L)q_0(L) denote the crossing for a triangular-lattice strip of width LL with fully periodic boundary conditions, and let qB≃3.8196717312q_{\rm B}\simeq3.8196717312 be the value where Baxter's analytically determined bulk free-energy eigenvalues become equimodular. Triangular-lattice q0q_0 convergence conjecture. For widths L=3pL=3p, the limit

q0(tri)=lim⁡p→∞q0(L)q_0(\mathrm{tri})=\lim_{p\to\infty}q_0(L)

exists and equals qBq_{\rm B}; moreover, the sequence q0(3p)q_0(3p) is monotonically increasing in pp. This is supported by numerical agreement with Baxter's value, but remains unproved in the source.
