Description
We present exact derivations of the effective capillary wave fluctuation induced forces resulting from pinning of an interface between two coexisting phases at two points separated by a distance r. In two dimensions the Ising ferromagnet calculations based on the transfer matrix approach give an attractive force decaying as 1/r for large distances. In three dimensions mapping of the body-centered solid-on-solid model onto the 6-vertex model allows for exact solution using the bosonization analysis of the equivalent XXZ Heisenberg quantum chain. The exact result gives the attractive force which decays asymptotically as 1/(r\log r).
