Exact loop densities in O(1) dense loop model on a cylinder of odd circumference and clusters in half-turn self-dual critical percolation

Abstract We consider the O (1) dense loop model in a square lattice wrapped on a cylinder of odd circumference L and calculate the exact densities of loops. These densities of loops are equal to the densities of critical bond percolation clusters on a forty-five-degree rotated square lattice rolled into a cylinder with special boundary conditions which we refer to as half-turn self-dual percolation. The solution is based on a correspondence between the O (1) dense loop model and the six-vertex model at the Razumov-Stroganov point.
