The hard-hexagon model in lattice statistics (i.e. the triangular lattice gas with nearest-neighbour exclusion) has been solved exactly. It has a critical point when the activity z has the value 1 / 2 (11+5 square root 5)=11.09017..., with exponents alpha = 1 / 3 , beta = 1 / 9 . More generally, a restricted class of square-lattice models with nearest-neighbour exclusion and non-zero diagonal interactions can be solved.
