Partition function of the eight-vertex model with domain wall boundary condition
Wen‐Li Yang, Yao-Zhong Zhang
Abstract
We derive the recursive relations of the partition function for the eight-vertex model on an N×N square lattice with domain wall boundary condition. Solving the recursive relations, we obtain the explicit expression of the domain wall partition function of the model. In the trigonometric/rational limit, our results recover the corresponding ones for the six-vertex model.
