The coupling between the σ’s is x x ferromagnetic (J > 0), the coupling between the σ’s and theS’s favors salt in liquidwater, i.e.,κ > 0—thisreflects thefact thatthereisanenergeticpenalty forsalt insertedintothecrystalstructureofice. A statistical ensemble of direct physical—and mathematical—relevance is that with fluctuating magnetization (grand canonical spin variables) and a fixed amountofsalt(canonical saltvariables). Theprincipalparameters ofthe systemarethusthesaltconcentrationcandtheexternalfieldh. Aswasshown in Part I for this setup, there is a non-trivial region in the (c,h)-plane where phase separation occurs on a macroscopic scale. Specifically, for (c,h) in this region,adropletwhichtakesanon-trivial(i.e.,non-zeroandnon-one)fraction oftheentirevolumeappears inthesystem. (For“liquid”boundaryconditions, the droplet is actually an ice crystal.) In “magnetic” terms, for each h there is a unique value of the magnetization which is achieved by keeping part of the system in the liquid, i.e., the plus Ising state, and part in the solid, i.e., the minusIsing state. Thisis in sharp contrast to what happens in theunperturbed Ising modelwhere a singlevalueof h(namely, h = 0) correspondsto a whole intervalofpossiblemagnetizations. The main objective of the present paper is to investigate the limit of in- finitesimal salt concentrations. We will take this to mean the following: In a system of linear size L we will consider the above “mixed” ensemble with concentrationcandexternalfieldhscalingtozeroasthesizeofthesystem,L, tendstoinfinity. Thegoalistodescribetheasymptoticpropertiesofthetypical spinconfigurations,particularlywithregardstotheformationofdroplets. The saltmarginalwillnowbeofnointerestbecausesaltparticlesaresosparsethat any localobservablewilleventuallyreport thatthereis nosaltat all. The main conclusions of this work are summarized as follows. First, in a regular system of volume V = Ld of characteristic dimension L, the scal- ing for both the salt concentration and external field is L−1. In particular, we should write h = bL−1 and c = ξL−1. Second, considering such a system withboundaryconditionfavoringtheliquidstateandwithhandcenjoyingthe abovementioned scalings, one of three things will happen as ξ sweeps from 0 to infinity: Colligativepropertiesofsolutions 3 (1) Ifbissufficientlysmallnegative,thesystemisalwaysintheliquidstate. (2) Ifbisofintermediate(negative)values,thereisatransition,atsomeξ(b) from theicestatetotheliquidstate. (3) Most dramatically, for larger (negative) values of b, there is a region— parametrized by ξ (b) < ξ < ξ (b)—where (macroscopic) phase sepa- 1 2 ration occurs. Specifically, the system holds a large crystallinechunk of ice, whose volume fraction varies from unity to some positive amount as ξ varies from ξ (b) to ξ (b). At ξ = ξ (b), all of the remaining ice 1 2 2 suddenlymelts. We obtain analogous results when the boundary conditions favor the ice state, with the ice crystal replaced by a liquid “brine pocket.” However, here a new phenomenon occurs: For certain choices of system parameters, the (growing) volumefractionoccupiedbythebrinepocketremainsboundedawayfromone as ξ increases from ξ (b) to ξ (b), and then jumps discontinuously to one at 1 2 ξ (b). In particular, thereare twodroplettransitions,seeFig. 1. 2 Thus, we claim that the onset of freezing point depression is, in fact, a surface phenomenon. Indeed, for very weak solutions, the bulk behavior of the system is determined by a delicate balance between surface order devia- tionsofthetemperatureandsaltconcentrations. Insomewhatpoeticterms,the predictions of this work are that at the liquid-ice coexistence temperature it is possible to melt a substantial portion of the ice via a pinch of salt whose size is only of the order V1−d1. (However, we make no claims as to how long one wouldhavetowait inorderto observethisphenomenon.) The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. In the next section wereiteratethebasicsetupofourmodelandintroducesomefurtherobjectsof relevance. The main results are stated in Sections 2.1-2.3; the corresponding proofs comein Section 3.

Λ Colligativepropertiesofsolutions 5 The surface nature of the macroscopic phase separation—namely, the caseswhentheconcentrationscalesliketheinverselinearscaleofthesystem— indicatesthatthequantitativeaspectsoftheanalysismaydependsensitivelyon theshapeofthevolumeinwhichthemodelisstudied. Thus,tokeepthiswork manageable, we will restrict our rigorous treatment of these cases to volumes ofaparticularshapeinwhichthedropletcostisthesameasininfinitevolume. The obvious advantage of this restriction is the possibility of explicit calcula- tions; the disadvantage is that the shape actually depends on the value of the coupling constant J. Notwithstanding, we expect that all of our findings are qualitativelycorrecteveninrectangularvolumesbutthatcannotbeguaranteed withoutafairamountofextrawork; see[17]foran example. Let V ⊂ Rd be a connected set with connected complement and unit Lebesgue volume. We will consider a sequence (V ) of latticevolumes which L are justdiscretizedblow-upsofV byscalefactor L: V = {x ∈ Zd: x/L ∈ V}. (1.5) L (The sequence of L × ··· × L boxes (Λ ) from Part I is recovered by let- L ting V = [0,1)d.) The particular “shape” V for which we will prove the macroscopic phase separation coincides with that of an equilibrium droplet— the Wulff-shapedvolume—whichwe will define next. We will stay rathersuc- cinct;detailsand proofs can befound instandardliteratureonWulffconstruc- tion ( [2,4,5,7,8,12] or the review [6]). Readers familiar with these concepts may considerskippingtherest ofthissection and passingdirectly to thestate- mentsofourmainresults. Consider the ferromagnetic Ising model at coupling J ≥ 0 and zero ex- ternal field and let P±,J denote the corresponding Gibbs measure in finite vol- Λ ume Λ ⊂ Zd and plus/minus boundary conditions. As is well known, there exists a number J = J (d), with J (1) = ∞ and J (d) ∈ (0,∞) if d ≥ 2, c c c c suchthatforeveryJ > J theexpectationofanyspininΛwithrespecttoP±,J c Λ isboundedawayfromzerouniformlyinΛ ⊂ Zd. Thelimitingvalueofthisex- pectation in the plus state—typically called the spontaneous magnetization— will be denoted by m = m (J). (Notethat m = 0 for J < J whilem > 0 ⋆ ⋆ ⋆ c ⋆ forJ > J .) c Nextwewillrecall thebasicsetupfortheanalysisofsurfacephenomena. For each unit vector n ∈ Rd, we first define the surface free energy τ (n) J in direction n. To this end let us consider a rectangular box V(N,M) ⊂ Rd with “square” base ofsideN and heightM oriented such that n is orthogonal to the base. The box is centered at the origin. We let Z+,J denote the Ising N,M partition function in V(N,M) ∩ Zd with plus boundary conditions. We will alsoconsidertheinclinedDobrushinboundaryconditionwhichtakesvalue+1 at the sites x of the boundary of V(N,M) ∩ Zd for which x · n > 0 and −1 6 Alexander,BiskupandChayes at theothersites. Denotingthecorrespondingpartitionfunctionby Z±,J,n, the N,M surface free energy τ (n) isthen defined by J 1 Z±,J,n τ (n) = − lim lim log N,M . (1.6) J M→∞N→∞ Nd−1 Z+,J N,M The limit exists by subadditivity arguments. The quantity τ (n) determines J thecostofan interface orthogonalto vectorn. As expected, as soon as J > J , the function n 7→ τ (n) is uniformly c J positive [14]. In order to evaluate the cost of a curved interface, τ (n) will J havetobeintegratedoverthesurface. Explicitly,wewillletJ > J and,given c a bounded set V ⊂ Rd with piecewise smooth boundary, we define the Wulff functionalW by theintegral J W (V) = τ (n)dA, (1.7) J J Z ∂V where dA is the (Hausdorff) surface measure and n is the position-dependent unit normal vector to the surface. The Wulff shape W is the unique minimizer (modulo translation)of V 7→ W (V) among bounded sets V ⊂ Rd with piece- wise smooth boundary and unit Lebesgue volume. We let (W ) denote the L sequenceofWulff-shaped latticevolumesdefined from V = W via(1.5). 2. MAIN RESULTS We are now in a position to state and prove our main results. As indicated before, wewill focus on the limitofinfinitesimalconcentrations (and external fields) where c and h scale as the reciprocal of the linear size of the system. Our resultscome in fourtheorems: In Theorem 2.1 we statethebasic surface- order large-deviationprinciple. Theorems 2.2 and 2.3 describe theminimizers of the requisite rate functions for liquid and ice boundary conditions, respec- tively. Finally, Theorem 2.4 provides some control of the spin marginal of the correspondingGibbsmeasure. 2.1.

Ingenericvolumes the presence of this additional constraint in the variational problem actually makes the resulting cost larger than (2.3)—which represents the cost of an unconstrained droplet.

An explicit formula for M (m) for ⋆ ±,J square volumes has been obtained in d = 2 [17]; the situation in d ≥ 3 has been addressed in[10,11]. Onthebasisoftheaboveassumptions,wearereadytostateourfirstmain result concerning the measure P±,c,h with c ∼ ξ/L and h ∼ b/L.

(2.4) 1+m 1−m We remark that if we write a full expression for the bulk entropy, Ξ(m,θ;c), see formula (3.5), at fixed m, c and θ, then, modulo some irrelevant terms, the quantity Υ(m,θ) is given by (∂/∂c)Ξ(m,θ;c) at c = 0.
