On the elliptic $\mathfrak{gl}_2$ solid-on-solid model: functional relations and determinants

W. Galléas

Published Jun 20, 2016• 2 citations

Abstract

In this work we study an elliptic solid-on-solid model with domain-wall boundaries having the elliptic quantum group $\mathcal{E}_{p, γ}[\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}_2}]$ as its underlying symmetry algebra. We elaborate on results previously presented by the author and extend our analysis to include continuous families of single determinantal representations for the model's partition function. Interestingly, our families of representations are parameterized by two continuous complex variables which can be arbitrarily chosen without affecting the partition function.

On the elliptic 𝔤𝔩2 solid-on-solid model: Functional relations and determinants

W. Galléas

In this work, we study an elliptic solid-on-solid model with domain-wall boundaries having the elliptic quantum group Ep,γ[gl2^] as its underlying symmetry algebra. We elaborate on results previously presented in Galleas [Phys. Rev. E 94, 010102 (2016)] and extend our analysis to include continuous families of single determinantal representations for the model’s partition function. Interestingly, our families of representations are parameterized by two continuous complex variables which can be arbitrarily chosen without affecting the partition function.

Partition function of the elliptic solid-on-solid model as a single determinant

W. Galléas

In this Rapid Communication we express the partition function of the integrable elliptic solid-on-solid model with domain-wall boundary conditions as a single determinant. This representation appears naturally as the solution of a system of functional equations governing the model's partition function.

The Functional Method for the Domain-Wall Partition Function

Jules Lamers

We review the (algebraic-)functional method devised by Galleas and further developed by Galleas and the author.We first explain the method using the simplest example: the computation of the partition function for the six-vertex model with domainwall boundary conditions.At the heart of the method lies a linear functional equation for the partition function.After deriving this equation we outline its analysis.The result is a closed expression in the form of a symmetrized sum -or, equivalently, multiple-integral formula -that can be rewritten to recover Izergin's determinant.Special attention is paid to the relation with other approaches.In particular we show that the Korepin-Izergin approach can be recovered within the functional method.We comment on the functional method's range of applicability, and review how it is adapted to the technically more involved example of the elliptic solid-on-solid model with domain walls and a reflecting end.We present a new formula for the partition function of the latter, which was expressed as a determinant by Tsuchiya-Filali-Kitanine.Our result takes the form of a 'crossing-symmetrized' sum with 2 L terms featuring the elliptic domain-wall partition function, which appears to be new also in the limiting case of the six-vertex model.Further taking the rational limit we recover the expression obtained by Frassek using the boundary perimeter Bethe ansatz.

Integral formula for elliptic SOS models with domain walls and a reflecting end

Jules Lamers

In this paper we extend previous work of Galleas and the author to elliptic sos models. We demonstrate that the dynamical reflection algebra can be exploited to obtain a functional equation characterizing the partition function of an elliptic sos model with domain-wall boundaries and one reflecting end. Special attention is paid to the structure of the functional equation. Through this approach we find a novel multiple-integral formula for that partition function.

On elliptic quantum integrability: vertex models, solid-on-solid models and spin chains

Jules Lamers

In this thesis the topic of quantum integrability is investigated, with the elliptic case constituting the core of the thesis. The first part of the thesis is about the exact computation of the partition function governing a six-vertex or solid-on-solid model on a lattice of arbitrary but fixed size for a specific choice of boundary conditions. Exact expressions for these quantities were already available due to the work of Korepin and Izergin and others. Using the approach put forward by Galleas we study the partition functions from another point of view. We show that this approach contains that of Korepin-Izergin, while offering an algorithm that allows one to construct, rather than guess, a formula for the partition function. This yields a new expression for that function in the case of a reflecting end and domain walls on the three other ends. The shorter second part of the thesis is about the question whether the partially anisotropic (think: XXZ) version of Inozemtsev's elliptic spin chain is exactly solvable. This model, interpolating between the XXZ and Haldane-Shastry spin chains, is very interesting from a theoretical viewpoint. Inozemtsev's exact solution of the original fully isotropic (XXX) model is rather intricate, and it would be very interesting to know whether that is an isolated case or part of a more general pattern. A few other modifications of Inozemtsev's spin chain are known to be exactly solvable, yet, unlike the partially isotropic version, those models are not 'continuously connected' to (deformations of) Inozemtsev's spin chain. Although we have not yet found a satisfying answer this question is very interesting, and our findings so far might be of interest to other researchers. Quantum integrability and exact solvability are beautiful topics in mathematical physics. They come with algebraic and analytic structures that provide powerful tools enabling one to analyse the models in great detail. The unavoidable consequence, however, is that this field can be quite technical, which tends to makes it rather inaccessible. Therefore a fair portion of this thesis is devoted to an introduction aimed at non-experts with the hope of making the remainder more accessible. These pieces may also be useful by themselves as introductions to quantum integrability in vertex models and exact solvability in spin chains.

Domain-wall boundaries through non-diagonal twists in the six-vertex model

W. Galléas

Abstract In this work we elaborate on a previous result relating the partition function of the six-vertex model with domain-wall boundary conditions to eigenvalues of a transfer matrix. More precisely, we express the aforementioned partition function as a determinant of a matrix with entries that are eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the anti-periodic six-vertex model.
