Abstract: We study the analyticity of the partition function of the hard hexagon model in the complex fugacity plane by computing zeros and transfer matrix eigenvalues for large finite size systems. We find that the partition function per site computed by Baxter in the thermodynamic limit for positive real values of the fugacity is not sufficient to describe the analyticity in the full complex fugacity plane. We also obtain a new algebraic equation for the low density partition function per site.

Review text

This study considers the problem of determining the analyticity of the free energy in the complex plane by computing the zeros of the partition function on large lattices and comparing these zeros with the locus computed from fugacity. As a by-product, one obtains a new algebraic equation for the low density partition function per site.
