Wetting transitions for a random line in long-range potential

Probability 2015-09-02 v2

Abstract

We consider a restricted Solid-on-Solid interface in Z+\Bbb{Z}_{+}, subject to a potential V(n)V\left( n\right) behaving at infinity like w/n2-\mathrm{w}/n^{2}. Whenever there is a wetting transition as b0expV(0)b_{0}\equiv \exp V\left( 0\right) is varied, we prove the following results for the density of returns m(b0)m\left( b_{0}\right) to the origin: if w<3/8\mathrm{w}<-3/8, then m(b0)m\left( b_{0}\right) has a jump at b0cb_{0}^{c}; if 3/8<w<1/8-3/8<\mathrm{w}<1/8, then m(b0)(b0cb0)θ/(1θ)m\left( b_{0}\right) \sim \left( b_{0}^{c}-b_{0}\right) ^{\theta /\left( 1-\theta \right) } where θ=118w2\theta =1-\frac{\sqrt{1-8\mathrm{w}}}{2}; if w>1/8\mathrm{w}>1/8, there is no wetting transition.
