Ice Model

We consider the triangular lattice ice model (20-Vertex model) with four types of domain-wall type boundary conditions. In types 1 and 2, the configurations are shown to be equinumerous to the quarter-turn symmetric domino tilings of an Aztec-like holey square, with a central cross-shaped hole. The proof of this statement makes extensive use of integrability and of a connection to the 6-Vertex model. The type 3 configurations are conjectured to be in same number as domino tilings of a particular triangle. The four enumeration problems are reformulated in terms of four types of Alternating Phase Matrices with entries $0$ and sixth roots of unity, subject to suitable alternation conditions. Our result is a generalization of the ASM-DPP correspondence. Several refined versions of the above correspondences are also discussed.

We show that the number of configurations of the 20 Vertex model on certain domains with domain wall type boundary conditions is equal to the number of domino tilings of Aztec-like triangles, proving a conjecture of the author and Guitter. The result is based on the integrability of the 20 Vertex model and uses a connection to the U-turn boundary 6 Vertex model to re-express the number of 20 Vertex configurations as a simple determinant, which is then related to a Lindström-Gessel-Viennot determinant for the domino tiling problem. The common number of configurations is conjectured to be $2^{n(n-1)/2}\prod_{j=0}^{n-1}\frac{(4j+2)!}{(n+2j+1)!}=1, 4, 60, 3328, 678912...$ The enumeration result is extended to include refinements of both numbers.

We review an algebraic method for constructing degenerate eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the eight-vertex Cyclic Solid-on-Solid lattice model (8V CSOS model), where the degeneracy increases exponentially with respect to the system size. We consider the elliptic quantum group Eτ,η(sl2) at the discrete coupling constants: 2N η = m1 + im2τ, where N, m1 and m2 are integers. Then we show that degenerate eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the six-vertex model at roots of unity in the sector SZ ≡ 0 ( mod N) are derived from those of the 8V CSOS model, through the trigonometric limit. They are associated with the complete N strings. From the result we see that the dimension of a given degenerate eigenspace in the sector SZ ≡ 0 ( mod N) of the six-vertex model at Nth roots of unity is given by [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the maximal value of the total spin operator SZ in the degenerate eigenspace.
