Abstract

A lattice model of critical dense polymers is solved exactly for finite strips. The key to the solution is a functional equation in the form of an inversion identity satisfied by the commuting double-row transfer matrices. This is established directly in the planar Temperley-Lieb algebra and holds independently of the space of link states on which the transfer matrices act. Different sectors are obtained by acting on link states with $s-1$ defects where $s=1,2,3,łdots$ is an extended Kac label. The bulk and boundary free energies and finite-size corrections are obtained from the Euler-Maclaurin formula. In particular, in the scaling limit, we confirm the central charge $c=-2$ and conformal weights $\Delta_s=(2-s)^2-18$ for $s=1,2,3,łdots$.
