Self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice

Abstract

We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective constant μ=2.63815852927(1)\mu =2.63815852927(1) (biased) and the critical exponent α=0.5000005(10)\alpha = 0.5000005(10) (unbiased). The critical point is indistinguishable from a root of the polynomial 581x4+7x213=0.581x^4 + 7x^2 - 13 =0. An asymptotic expansion for the coefficients is given for all n.n. There is strong evidence for the absence of any non-analytic correction-to-scaling exponent.
