Entropy of Folding of the Triangular Lattice
Preprint
- 15 February 1994
Abstract
The problem of counting the different ways of folding the planar triangular lattice is shown to be equivalent to that of counting the possible 3-colorings of its bonds, a dual version of the 3-coloring problem of the hexagonal lattice solved by Baxter. The folding entropy Log q per triangle is thus given by Baxter's formula q=sqrt(3)(Gamma[1/3])^(3/2)/2pi =1.2087...Keywords
