Three-coloring statistical model with domain wall boundary conditions. I. Functional equations
In 1970 Baxter considered the statistical three-coloring lattice model for
the case of toroidal boundary conditions. He used the Bethe ansatz and found
the partition function of the model in the thermodynamic limit. We consider the
same model but use other boundary conditions for which one can prove that the
partition function satisfies some functional equations similar to the
functional equations satisfied by the partition function of the six-vertex
model for a special value of the crossing parameter.Comment: 16 pages, notations changed for consistency with the next part,

A possible combinatorial point for XYZ-spin chain
We formulate and discuss a number of conjectures on the ground state vectors
of the XYZ-spin chains of odd length with periodic boundary conditions and a
special choice of the Hamiltonian parameters. In particular, arguments for the
validity of a sum rule for the components, which describes in a sense the
degree of antiferromagneticity of the chain, are given.Comment: AMSLaTeX, 15 page
Bethe roots and refined enumeration of alternating-sign matrices
The properties of the most probable ground state candidate for the XXZ spin
chain with the anisotropy parameter equal to -1/2 and an odd number of sites is
considered. Some linear combinations of the components of the considered state,
divided by the maximal component, coincide with the elementary symmetric
polynomials in the corresponding Bethe roots. It is proved that those
polynomials are equal to the numbers providing the refined enumeration of the
alternating-sign matrices of order M+1 divided by the total number of the
alternating-sign matrices of order M, for the chain of length 2M+1.Comment: LaTeX 2e, 12 pages, minor corrections, references adde
The Wave Functions for the Free-Fermion Part of the Spectrum of the Quantum Spin Models
We conjecture that the free-fermion part of the eigenspectrum observed
recently for the Perk-Schultz spin chain Hamiltonian in a finite
lattice with is a consequence of the existence of a
special simple eigenvalue for the transfer matrix of the auxiliary
inhomogeneous vertex model which appears in the nested Bethe ansatz
approach. We prove that this conjecture is valid for the case of the SU(3) spin
chain with periodic boundary condition. In this case we obtain a formula for
the components of the eigenvector of the auxiliary inhomogeneous 6-vertex model
(), which permit us to find one by one all components of
this eigenvector and consequently to find the eigenvectors of the free-fermion
part of the eigenspectrum of the SU(3) spin chain. Similarly as in the known
case of the case at our numerical and analytical
studies induce some conjectures for special rates of correlation functions.Comment: 25 pages and no figure
Polynomial solutions of qKZ equation and ground state of XXZ spin chain at Delta = -1/2
Integral formulae for polynomial solutions of the quantum
Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations associated with the R-matrix of the six-vertex
model are considered. It is proved that when the deformation parameter q is
equal to e^{+- 2 pi i/3} and the number of vertical lines of the lattice is
odd, the solution under consideration is an eigenvector of the inhomogeneous
transfer matrix of the six-vertex model. In the homogeneous limit it is a
ground state eigenvector of the antiferromagnetic XXZ spin chain with the
anisotropy parameter Delta equal to -1/2 and odd number of sites. The obtained
integral representations for the components of this eigenvector allow to prove
some conjectures on its properties formulated earlier. A new statement relating
the ground state components of XXZ spin chains and Temperley-Lieb loop models
is formulated and proved.Comment: v2: cosmetic changes, new section on refined TSSCPPs vs refined ASM
Direct SIMS Determination of the InxGa1-xN Mole Fraction
We demonstrate that our secondary mass ion spectroscopy (SIMS) method for the determination of the mole fraction in solid InxGa1-xN solutions is accurate and reproduceable without need of reference samples. The method is based on measuring relative current values of CsM+ (M=Ga, In) secondary ions. The claim of reliable SIMS determination without reference samples was confirmed by four independent analytical methods on the same samples with a relative error in the InN mole fraction determination below 15
The role of orthogonal polynomials in the six-vertex model and its combinatorial applications
The Hankel determinant representations for the partition function and
boundary correlation functions of the six-vertex model with domain wall
boundary conditions are investigated by the methods of orthogonal polynomial
theory. For specific values of the parameters of the model, corresponding to
1-, 2- and 3-enumerations of Alternating Sign Matrices (ASMs), these
polynomials specialize to classical ones (Continuous Hahn, Meixner-Pollaczek,
and Continuous Dual Hahn, respectively). As a consequence, a unified and
simplified treatment of ASMs enumerations turns out to be possible, leading
also to some new results such as the refined 3-enumerations of ASMs.
Furthermore, the use of orthogonal polynomials allows us to express, for
generic values of the parameters of the model, the partition function of the
(partially) inhomogeneous model in terms of the one-point boundary correlation
functions of the homogeneous one.Comment: Talk presented by F.C. at the Short Program of the Centre de

Bethe Equations "on the Wrong Side of Equator"
We analyse the famous Baxter's equations for () spin chain
and show that apart from its usual polynomial (trigonometric) solution, which
provides the solution of Bethe-Ansatz equations, there exists also the second
solution which should corresponds to Bethe-Ansatz beyond . This second
solution of Baxter's equation plays essential role and together with the first
one gives rise to all fusion relations.Comment: 13 pages, original paper was spoiled during transmissio
Analysis of model for assessing the road train movement stability
In this paper, we conduct a mathematical analysis of the model of ensuring the road trains movement stability by changing the design of coupling devices to determine the critical characteristic parameters of the road trains, which result in the loss of en-route directional stability under external action. The concept of the model was to separate the process of yawing of the road trains and its elements (due to external perturbing action) on the highway into several typical stages. The main parameters of the stages (the displacement amplitude and rotation angle of the road trains elements in relation to the driving direction) were determined based on the initial conditions of the road trains movement, the force and duration of the external action. The most dangerous areas of external action application to the road trains were determined in this paper. The maximum permissible exposure limit should not exceed 0.5-1.0% of the road trains trailer momentum, with duration having the greater effect than the amount of impact. The results obtained can be used in mechanical engineering to improve the road trains performance. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
Refined Razumov-Stroganov conjectures for open boundaries
Recently it has been conjectured that the ground-state of a Markovian
Hamiltonian, with one boundary operator, acting in a link pattern space is
related to vertically and horizontally symmetric alternating-sign matrices
(equivalently fully-packed loop configurations (FPL) on a grid with special
boundaries).We extend this conjecture by introducing an arbitrary boundary
parameter. We show that the parameter dependent ground state is related to
refined vertically symmetric alternating-sign matrices i.e. with prescribed
configurations (respectively, prescribed FPL configurations) in the next to
central row.
We also conjecture a relation between the ground-state of a Markovian
Hamiltonian with two boundary operators and arbitrary coefficients and some
doubly refined (dependence on two parameters) FPL configurations. Our
conjectures might be useful in the study of ground-states of the O(1) and XXZ
models, as well as the stationary states of Raise and Peel models.Comment: 11 pages LaTeX, 8 postscript figure
