We calculate the partition function Z(G, Q, v) of the Q-state Potts model exactly for self-dual cyclic square-lattice strips of various widths Ly and arbitrarily large lengths Lx, with Q and v restricted to satisfy the relation Q=v2. From these calculations, in the limit Lx→∞, we determine the continuous accumulation locus [Formula: see text] of the partition function zeros in the v and Q planes. A number of interesting features of this locus are discussed and a conjecture is given for properties applicable to arbitrarily large width. Relations with the loci [Formula: see text] for general Q and v are analyzed.

We present exact calculations of partition function Z of the q-state Potts model with next-nearest-neighbor spin–spin couplings, both for the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic case, for arbitrary temperature, on n-vertex ladders with free, cyclic, and Möbius longitudinal boundary conditions. The free energy is calculated exactly for the infinite-length limit of these strip graphs and the thermodynamics is discussed. Considering the full generalization to arbitrary complex q and temperature, we determine the singular locus ℬ in the corresponding [Formula: see text] space, arising as the accumulation set of partition function zeros as n → ∞.
