We consider the hard-core model on finite triangular lattices with Metropolis dynamics. Under suitable conditions on the triangular lattice dimensions, this interacting particle system has three maximum-occupancy configurations and we investigate its high-fugacity behavior by studying tunneling times, i.e., the first hitting times between between these maximum-occupancy configurations, and the mixing time. The proof method relies on the analysis of the corresponding state space using… Expand
