Monte Carlo computer simulations are used to study the conformational free energy of a folded polymer confined to a long cylindrical tube. The polymer is modeled as a hard-sphere chain. Its conformational free energy $F$ is measured as a…

We use computational method to investigate the number of ways to pack dimers on \emph{odd-by-odd} lattices. In this case, there is always a single vacancy in the lattices. We show that the dimer configuration numbers on $(2k+1) \times…

It has been argued that for a finite two-dimensional classical Coulomb system of characteristic size $R$, in its conducting phase, as $R\to \infty $ the total free energy (times the inverse temperature $\beta$) admits an expansion of the…

The correlation functions of an arbitrary number of boundary monomers in the system of close-packed dimers on the square lattice are computed exactly in the scaling limit. The equivalence of the 2n-point correlation functions with those of…

Using the bond-propagation algorithm, we study the Ising model on a rectangle of size $M \times N$ with free boundaries. For five aspect ratios $\rho=M/N=1,2,4,8,16$, the critical free energy, internal energy and specific heat are…

Let f, U and C represent, respectively, the free energy, the internal energy and the specific heat of the critical Ising model on the square M x N lattice with periodic boundary conditions. We find that N f and U are well-defined odd…

We consider a general two-component plasma of classical pointlike charges $+e$ ($e$ is say the elementary charge) and $-Z e$ (valency $Z=1,2,\ldots$), living on the surface of a sphere of radius $R$. The system is in thermal equilibrium at…

We study the free energy for pure and mixed spherical $p$-spin models with i.i.d.\ disorder. In the mixed case, each $p$-interaction layer is assumed either to have regularly varying tails with exponent $\alpha_p$ or to satisfy a finite…

We compute the free energy of the planar monomer-dimer model. Unlike the classical planar dimer model, an exact solution is not known in this case. Even the computation of the low-density power series expansion requires heavy and nontrivial…

Using the bond-propagation algorithm, we study the finite-size behavior of the critical two-dimensional Ising model on a finite triangular lattice with free boundaries in five shapes: triangle, rhombus, trapezoid, hexagon and rectangle. The…

For the free models of statistical mechanics on torus, exact asymptotic expansions of the free energy, the internal energy and the specific heat in the vicinity of the critical point are found. It is shown that there is direct relation…

We derive direct representations of the scaling functions of the 3d O(4) model which are relevant for comparisons to other models, in particular QCD. This is done in terms of expansions in the scaling variable z= t/h^{1/Delta}. The…

We present detailed calculations for the partition function and the free energy of the finite two-dimensional square lattice Ising model with periodic and antiperiodic boundary conditions, variable aspect ratio, and anisotropic couplings,…

This work addresses the question of whether it is possible to define simple pair-wise interaction terms to approximate free energies of proteins or polymers. Rather than ask how reliable a potential of mean force is, one can ask how…

We develop a systematic field theoretic description for the roughness correction to the Casimir free energy of parallel plates. Roughness is modeled by specifying a generating functional for correlation functions of the height profile, the…

An exactly solvable lattice model with infinite-range potential is applied to uniaxial ferroelectrics. Asymptotically exact expression for free energy as a function of an order parameter at any temperatures is obtained. Effect of thermal…

We propose a new method for the problems of computing free energy and surface pressure for various statistical mechanics models on a lattice $\Z^d$. Our method is based on representing the free energy and surface pressure in terms of…

We analyze the partition function of the dimer model on an $\mathcal{M} \times \mathcal{N}$ triangular lattice wrapped on torus obtained by Fendley, Moessner and Sondhi [Phys. Rev. B \textbf{66}, 214513 (2002)]. From a finite-size analysis…

We analyze the perceptron model performing a Plefka-like expansion of the free energy. This model falls in the same universality class as hard spheres near jamming, allowing to get exact predictions in high dimensions for more complex…

We study large $n$ expansions for the partition function of a Coulomb gas $$Z_n=\frac 1 {\pi^n}\int_{\mathbb{C}^n}\prod_{1\le i<j\le n}|z_i-z_j|^2\prod_{i=1}^n e^{-nQ(z_i)}\, d^2 z_i,$$ where $Q$ is a radially symmetric confining potential…
