Abstract
Abstract. We obtain factorized domain wall partition functions for two sets of trigonometric vertex models: 1. The N-state Deguchi-Akutsu models, for N ∈ {2, 3, 4} (and conjecture the result for all N ≥ 5), and 2. The sl(r+1|s+1) Perk-Schultz models, for {r, s ∈ N}, where (given the symmetries of these models) the result is independent of {r, s}. Domain wall partition functions (DWPF’s) were first proposed and evaluated in determinant form, for the spin-1 2 vertex model1 on a finite square lattice, in [1, 2]. At the free fermion point of the spin-1 2 model, this determinant is in
