Abstract

In this note, we study the low temperature (2+1)(2+1)D SOS interface above a hard floor with critical pinning potential λw=log(11e4β)\lambda_w= \log (\frac{1}{1-e^{-4\beta}}). At λ<λw\lambda<\lambda_w entropic repulsion causes the surface to delocalize and be rigid at height 14βlogn+O(1)\frac1{4\beta}\log n+O(1); at λ>λw\lambda>\lambda_w it is localized at some O(1)O(1) height. We show that at λ=λw\lambda=\lambda_w, there is delocalization, with rigidity now at height 16βlogn+13\lfloor \frac1{6\beta}\log n+\frac13\rfloor, confirming a conjecture of Lacoin.
