Abstract: The striking boundary dependency (the Arctic Circle phenomenon) exhibited in the ice model on the square lattice extends to other planar set-ups. We present these findings for the triangular and the Kagome lattices. Critical connectivity results guarantee that ice configurations can be generated using the simplest and most efficient local actions. Height functions are utilized throughout the analysis. At the end there is a surprise in store: on the remaining Archimedean lattice for which the ice model can be defined, the 3.4.6.4. lattice, the long range behavior is completely different from the other cases.

Review text

The topic of this work is a specific configuration of graphs, so-called ices. They should not be confounded with cold physical objects (although some of them may play a role of the mathematical model for statistical physics properties of a real ice). Here an ice is the arrangement of arrows connecting lattice vertices in such a way that the numbers of arrows arriving to and departing from a lattice point are equal to each other. The Archimedean ice corresponds to bonds between vertices of Archimedean lattices defined via the tiling of a plane by regular polygons. The main results of the article consist of a series of theorems considering ice configurations and conditions for their mutual transformations and entropy properties for Kagome, triangular and 3.4.6.4 lattices.
