The infinite-state Potts model and solid partitions of an integer
Abstract
It has been established that the infinite-state Potts model in d dimensions generates restricted partitions of integers in d {minus} 1 dimensions, the latter a well-known intractable problem in number theory for d > 3. Here the authors consider the d = 4 problem. They consider a Potts model on an L x M x N x P hypercubic lattice whose partition function G{sub L M N P}(t) generates restricted solid partitions on an L x M x N lattice with each part no greater than P. Closed-form expressions are obtained for G{sub 222P} (t) and the authors evaluated its zeros in the complex t plane for different values of P. On the basis of their numerical results they conjecture that all zeros of the enumeration generating function G{sub L M N P}(t) lie on the unit circle {vert_bar}t{vert_bar} = 1 in the limit that any of the indices L, M, N, P becomes infinite.
