Partition function zeros of adsorbing Dyck paths

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The zeros of the size-n partition functions for a statistical mechanical model can be used to help understand the critical behaviour of the model as noinfty. Here we use weighted Dyck paths as a simple model of two-dimensional polymer adsorption, and study the behaviour of the partition function zeros, particularly in the thermodynamic limit. The exact solvability of the model allows for a precise calculation of the locus of the zeros and the way in which an edge-singularity on the positive real axis is formed. We also show that in the limit noinfty the zeros converge on a limac{c}on in the complex plane.
