A direct proof of Kim's identities
As a by-product of a finite-size Bethe Ansatz calculation in statistical
mechanics, Doochul Kim has established, by an indirect route, three
mathematical identities rather similar to the conjugate modulus relations
satisfied by the elliptic theta constants. However, they contain factors like
and , instead of . We show here that
there is a fourth relation that naturally completes the set, in much the same
way that there are four relations for the four elliptic theta functions. We
derive all of them directly by proving and using a specialization of
Weierstrass' factorization theorem in complex variable theory.Comment: Latex, 6 pages, accepted by J. Physics
Entropy of Folding of the Triangular Lattice
The problem of counting the different ways of folding the planar triangular
lattice is shown to be equivalent to that of counting the possible 3-colorings
of its bonds, a dual version of the 3-coloring problem of the hexagonal lattice
solved by Baxter. The folding entropy Log q per triangle is thus given by
Baxter's formula q=sqrt(3)(Gamma[1/3])^(3/2)/2pi =1.2087...Comment: 9 pages, harvmac, epsf, uuencoded, 5 figures included, Saclay

Bethe Ansatz Equations for the Broken -Symmetric Model
We obtain the Bethe Ansatz equations for the broken -symmetric
model by constructing a functional relation of the transfer matrix of
-operators. This model is an elliptic off-critical extension of the
Fateev-Zamolodchikov model. We calculate the free energy of this model on the
basis of the string hypothesis.Comment: 43 pages, latex, 11 figure
Spectral characteristics of earth-space paths at 2 and 30 FHz
Spectral characteristics of 2 and 30 GHz signals received from the Applications Technology Satellite-6 (ATS-6) are analyzed in detail at elevation angles ranging from 0 deg to 44 deg. The spectra of the received signals are characterized by slopes and break frequencies. Statistics of these parameters are presented as probability density functions. Dependence of the spectral characteristics on elevation angle is investigated. The 2 and 30 GHz spectral shapes are contrasted through the use of scatter diagrams. The results are compared with those predicted from turbulence theory. The average spectral slopes are in close agreement with theory, although the departure from the average value at any given elevation angle is quite large
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
Tetromino tilings and the Tutte polynomial
We consider tiling rectangles of size 4m x 4n by T-shaped tetrominoes. Each
tile is assigned a weight that depends on its orientation and position on the
lattice. For a particular choice of the weights, the generating function of
tilings is shown to be the evaluation of the multivariate Tutte polynomial
Z\_G(Q,v) (known also to physicists as the partition function of the Q-state
Potts model) on an (m-1) x (n-1) rectangle G, where the parameter Q and the
edge weights v can take arbitrary values depending on the tile weights.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure
General scalar products in the arbitrary six-vertex model
In this work we use the algebraic Bethe ansatz to derive the general scalar
product in the six-vertex model for generic Boltzmann weights. We performed
this calculation using only the unitarity property, the Yang-Baxter algebra and
the Yang-Baxter equation. We have derived a recurrence relation for the scalar
product. The solution of this relation was written in terms of the domain wall
partition functions. By its turn, these partition functions were also obtained
for generic Boltzmann weights, which provided us with an explicit expression
for the general scalar product.Comment: 24 page
Selfduality for coupled Potts models on the triangular lattice
We present selfdual manifolds for coupled Potts models on the triangular
lattice. We exploit two different techniques: duality followed by decimation,
and mapping to a related loop model. The latter technique is found to be
superior, and it allows to include three-spin couplings. Starting from three
coupled models, such couplings are necessary for generating selfdual solutions.
A numerical study of the case of two coupled models leads to the identification
of novel critical points
Absence of Phase Transition for Antiferromagnetic Potts Models via the Dobrushin Uniqueness Theorem
We prove that the -state Potts antiferromagnet on a lattice of maximum
coordination number exhibits exponential decay of correlations uniformly at
all temperatures (including zero temperature) whenever . We also prove
slightly better bounds for several two-dimensional lattices: square lattice
(exponential decay for ), triangular lattice (), hexagonal
lattice (), and Kagom\'e lattice (). The proofs are based on
the Dobrushin uniqueness theorem.Comment: 32 pages including 3 figures. Self-unpacking file containing the tex
