Abstract
We consider the exact correlation length calculations for the two-dimensional Potts model at the transition point
by Klümper, Schadschneider and Zittartz, and by Buffenoir and Wallon. We argue that the correlation length calculated by
the latter authors is the correlation length in the disordered phase and then combine their result with duality and the assumption
of complete wetting to give an explicit formula for the order-disorder interface tension
of this model. The result is used to clarify a controversy stemming from different numerical simulations of
