A singularity on the negative-fugacity axis of the hard-core lattice gas is investigated in terms of numerical diagonalization of large-scale transfer matrices. For the hard-square lattice gas, the location of the singular point [Formula: see text] and the critical exponent ν are accurately determined by the phenomenological renormalization technique as -0.11933888188(1) and 0.416667(1), respectively. It is also found that the central charge c and the dominant scaling dimension xσ are -4.399996(8) and -0.3999996(7), respectively. Similar analyses for other hard-core lattice-gas models in two dimensions are also performed, and it is confirmed that the universality between these models does hold. These results strongly indicate that the present singularity belongs to the same universality class as the Yang–Lee edge singularity.

An old result by Shearer relates the Lovász local lemma with the independent set polynomial on graphs, and consequently, as observed by Scott and Sokal, with the partition function of the hard-core lattice gas on graphs. We use this connection and a recent result on the analyticity of the logarithm of the partition function of the abstract polymer gas to get an improved version of the Lovász local lemma. As an application we obtain tighter bounds on conditions for the existence of Latin transversal matrices.
