Fractal structure of a solvable lattice model

Statistical Mechanics 2009-09-29 v2

Abstract

Fractal structure of the six-vertex model is introduced with the use of the IFS (Iterated Function Systems). The fractal dimension satisfies an equation written by the free energy of the six-vertex model. It is pointed out that the transfer matrix method and the nn-equivalence relation introduced in lattice theories have also been introduced in the area of fractal geometry. All the results can be generalized for the models suitable to the transfer matrix treatment, and hence this gives general relation between solvable lattice models and fractal geometry.
