Abstract

We have developed an improved algorithm that allows us to enumerate the number of self-avoiding polygons on the square lattice to perimeter length 90. Analysis of the resulting series yields very accurate estimates of the connective constant =2.638 158 529 27(1) (biased) and the critical exponent = 0.500 0005(10) (unbiased). The critical point is indistinguishable from a root of the polynomial 581x4 + 7x2 - 13 = 0. An asymptotic expansion for the coefficients is given for all n. There is strong evidence for the absence of any non-analytic correction-to-scaling exponent.
