Influence of boundary conditions on bulk properties of six-vertex model
Thiago Silva Tavares, G A P Ribeiro, V. E. Korepin
We study the influence of boundary conditions on the entropy of the six-vertex model. We consider the case of fixed boundary conditions in order to argue that the entropy of the six-vertex model vary continuously from its value for ferroelectric to periodic boundary conditions. This is done by merging the ferroelectric boundary and the Néel boundary.
