Abstract: We consider the (2+1)-dimensional generalized solid-on-solid (SOS) model, that is the random discrete surface with a gradient potential of the form |ablaphi|p, where pin[1,+infty]. We show that at low temperature, for a square region Lambda with side L, both under the infinite volume measure and under the measure with zero boundary conditions around Lambda, the probability that the surface is nonnegative in Lambda behaves like , where is the inverse temperature, is the surface tension at zero tilt, or step free energy, and Hp(L) is the entropic repulsion height, that is the typical height of the field when a positivity constraint is imposed. This generalizes recent results obtained in cite{CMT} for the standard SOS model (p=1).
