Triangular-lattice toroidal phase-diagram conjecture

About 19 years old · traced to

For a zero-temperature triangular-lattice Potts antiferromagnet on toroidal strips, let q0(L)q_0(L) and q2(L)q_2(L) be the relevant real crossings, and let ℓ\ell denote the number of bridges. Triangular-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 ℓ=0\ell=0 and amplitude b(0)=1b^{(0)}=1; (b) q∈(0,2)q\in(0,2), characterized by ℓ=1\ell=1 and amplitude b(1)=q−1b^{(1)}=q-1; (c) q∈(2,q2(L))q\in(2,q_2(L)), characterized by ℓ=2\ell=2 and amplitude b1(2)=q(q−3)/2b^{(2)}_1=q(q-3)/2; and (d) q∈(q2(L),q0(L))q\in(q_2(L),q_0(L)), characterized by ℓ=2\ell=2 and the same amplitude b1(2)=q(q−3)/2b^{(2)}_1=q(q-3)/2. The source notes that phase (d) occurs at finite widths such as L=5,7L=5,7 and, according to the preceding conjectures, survives in the thermodynamic limit; this remains empirical.
