Abstract: We provide a complete description of the low temperature wetting transition for the two dimensional Solid-On-Solid model. More precisely we study the integer-valued field $(phi(x){)}_{xinmathbb{Z}^2}$, associated associated to the energy functional ${\displaystyle }$V(phi)=�eta sum_{xsim y}|phi(x)-phi(y)|-sum_{x}left(h{�f 1}_{{phi(x)=0}}-infty{�f 1}_{{phi(x)<0}} ight).${\displaystyle }$ It is known since the pioneering work of Chalker (J. Phys. A {�f 15} (1982) 481-485) that for every $$, there exists $$ delimiting a transition between a delocalized phase ($$) where the proportion of points at level zero vanishes, and a localized phase ($$) where this proportion is positive. We prove in the present paper that for $$ sufficiently large we have ${\displaystyle }$h_w(�eta)= log left(frac{e^{4�eta}}{e^{4�eta}-1} ight).${\displaystyle }$ Furthermore we provide a sharp asymptotic for the free energy at the vicinity of the critical point: We show that close to $$, the free energy is approximately piecewise affine and that the points of discontinuity for the derivative of the affine approximation forms a geometric sequence accumulating on the right of $$. This asymptotic behavior provides a strong evidence for the conjectured existence of countably many "layering transitions" at the vicinity of the critical point, corresponding to jumps for the typical height of the field.
