Equivalence of the Potts model or Whitney polynomial with an ice-type model

Open access

Abstract

The partition function of the Potts model (1952) on any lattice can readily be written as a Whitney polynomial (1932). Temperley and Lieb (Proc. R. Soc., vol.A322, p.251 of 1971) have used operator methods to show that, for a square lattice, this problem is in turn equivalent to a staggered ice-type model. Here the authors rederive this equivalence by a graphical method, which they believe to be simpler, and which applies to any planar lattice. For instance, they also show that the Potts model on the triangular or honeycomb lattice is equivalent to an ice-type model on a Kagome lattice.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
