OpenAI reports critical honeycomb polygon diameter-tail exponents

At the critical honeycomb self-avoiding-walk activity, the total weight of unrooted polygons of diameter at least r is r^{-2+o(1)}, their length-weighted tail is r^{-2/3+o(1)}, and the truncated second-length-moment mass through diameter r is at most r^{2/3+o(1)}.

Understanding the problem

Read the background

At the critical honeycomb self-avoiding-walk activity, the total weight of unrooted polygons of diameter at least r is r^{-2+o(1)}, their length-weighted tail is r^{-2/3+o(1)}, and the truncated second-length-moment mass through diameter r is at most r^{2/3+o(1)}.

Why it matters

If correct, establishes the critical polygon tail laws that yield diameter n^{3/4+o(1)} under length-cutoff ensembles.

What counts as progress

What are the critical diameter and length-tail exponents for honeycomb self-avoiding polygons?
