Title:
O(n) loops in complex magnetic field coupled to 2D gravity: Lee-Yang and Langer singularities
Speaker:
Abstract:
The $O(n)$ loop model on planar graphs is solved in presence of constant magnetic field H. The geometrical expansion involves (self and mutually avoiding) loops with fugacity $n$ and open lines with fugacity $H^2$. The universal specific free energy has a pair of Yang-Lee edges on the high-temperature sheet and a Langer type branch cut on the low-temperature sheet at $H=0$. The value of the exponent of the Langer type singularity is compatible with a conjecture by A. and Al. Zamolodchikov about the decay rate of the metastable vacuum in presence of Liouville gravity.Related Papers:
