On the problem of calculation of correlation functions in the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions
The problem of calculation of correlation functions in the six-vertex model
with domain wall boundary conditions is addressed by considering a particular
nonlocal correlation function, called row configuration probability. This
correlation function can be used as building block for computing various (both
local and nonlocal) correlation functions in the model. The row configuration
probability is calculated using the quantum inverse scattering method; the
final result is given in terms of a multiple integral. The connection with the
emptiness formation probability, another nonlocal correlation function which
was computed elsewhere using similar methods, is also discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figure
Functional relations for the six vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions
In this work we demonstrate that the Yang-Baxter algebra can also be employed
in order to derive a functional relation for the partition function of the six
vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. The homogeneous limit is
studied for small lattices and the properties determining the partition
function are also discussed.Comment: 19 pages, v2: typos corrected, new section and appendix added. v3:

The arctic curve of the domain-wall six-vertex model
The problem of the form of the `arctic' curve of the six-vertex model with
domain wall boundary conditions in its disordered regime is addressed. It is
well-known that in the scaling limit the model exhibits phase-separation, with
regions of order and disorder sharply separated by a smooth curve, called the
arctic curve. To find this curve, we study a multiple integral representation
for the emptiness formation probability, a correlation function devised to
detect spatial transition from order to disorder. We conjecture that the arctic
curve, for arbitrary choice of the vertex weights, can be characterized by the
condition of condensation of almost all roots of the corresponding saddle-point
equations at the same, known, value. In explicit calculations we restrict to
the disordered regime for which we have been able to compute the scaling limit
of certain generating function entering the saddle-point equations. The arctic
curve is obtained in parametric form and appears to be a non-algebraic curve in
general; it turns into an algebraic one in the so-called root-of-unity cases.
The arctic curve is also discussed in application to the limit shape of
-enumerated (with ) large alternating sign matrices. In
particular, as the limit shape tends to a nontrivial limiting curve,
given by a relatively simple equation.Comment: 39 pages, 2 figures; minor correction
Gauging kinematical and internal symmetry groups for extended systems: the Galilean one-time and two-times harmonic oscillators
The possible external couplings of an extended non-relativistic classical
system are characterized by gauging its maximal dynamical symmetry group at the
center-of-mass. The Galilean one-time and two-times harmonic oscillators are
exploited as models. The following remarkable results are then obtained: 1) a
peculiar form of interaction of the system as a whole with the external gauge
fields; 2) a modification of the dynamical part of the symmetry
transformations, which is needed to take into account the alteration of the
dynamics itself, induced by the {\it gauge} fields. In particular, the
Yang-Mills fields associated to the internal rotations have the effect of
modifying the time derivative of the internal variables in a scheme of minimal
coupling (introduction of an internal covariant derivative); 3) given their
dynamical effect, the Yang-Mills fields associated to the internal rotations
apparently define a sort of Galilean spin connection, while the Yang-Mills
fields associated to the quadrupole momentum and to the internal energy have
the effect of introducing a sort of dynamically induced internal metric in the
relative space.Comment: 32 pages, LaTex using the IOP preprint macro package (ioplppt.sty

Solving the Frustrated Spherical Model with q-Polynomials
We analyse the Spherical Model with frustration induced by an external gauge
field. In infinite dimensions, this has been recently mapped onto a problem of
q-deformed oscillators, whose real parameter q measures the frustration. We
find the analytic solution of this model by suitably representing the
q-oscillator algebra with q-Hermite polynomials. We also present a related
Matrix Model which possesses the same diagrammatic expansion in the planar
approximation. Its interaction potential is oscillating at infinity with period
log(q), and may lead to interesting metastability phenomena beyond the planar
approximation. The Spherical Model is similarly q-periodic, but does not
exhibit such phenomena: actually its low-temperature phase is not glassy and
depends smoothly on q.Comment: Latex, 14 pages, 2 eps figure
Asymptotics and functional form of correlators in the XX - spin chain of finite length
We verify the functional form of the asymptotics of the spin - spin equal -
time correlation function for the XX-chain, predicted by the hypothesis of
conformal invariance at large distances and by the bosonization procedure. We
point out that bosonization also predicts the functional form of the
correlators for the chains of finite length. We found the exact expression for
the spin- spin equal- time correlator on finite lattice. We find the excellent
agreement of the exact correlator with the prediction given by the leading
asymptotics result up to the very small distances. We also establish the
correspondence between the value of the constant before the asymptotics for the
XX- chain with the expression for this constant proposed by Lukyanov and
Zamolodchikov. We also evaluate the constant corresponding to the subleading
term in the asymptotics in a way which is different from the previous studies.Comment: LaTex, 12 page
Towards a framework for work package allocation for GSD
Proceeding of: Proceeding of: OTM 2011 Workshops: Confederated International Workshops and Posters: EI2N+NSF ICE, ICSP+INBAST, ISDE, ORM, OTMA, SWWS+MONET+SeDeS, and VADER 2011, Hersonissos, Crete, Greece, October 17-21, 2011Global software development is an inexorable trend in the software industry. The impact of the trend in conventional software development can be found in many of its aspects. One of them is task or work package allocation. Task allocation was traditionally driven by resource competency and availability but GSD introduces new complexities to this process including time-zones differences, costs and cultural differences. In this work a report on the construction of a framework for work-package allocation within GSD projects is presented. This framework lies on three main pillars: individual and organizational competency, organizational customization and sound assessment methods.This work is supported by the Spanish Centro para el Desarrollo

Solving Gauss' Laws and Searching Dirac Observables for the Four Interactions
A review is given of the status of the program of classical reduction to
Dirac's observables of the four interactions (standard SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1)
particle model and tetrad gravity) with the matter described either by
Grassmann-valued fermion fields or by particles with Grassmann charges.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX (using espcrc2.sty). Talk given at the Second Conf. on

Area versus Length Distribution for Closed Random Walks
Using a connection between the -oscillator algebra and the coefficients of
the high temperature expansion of the frustrated Gaussian spin model, we derive
an exact formula for the number of closed random walks of given length and
area, on a hypercubic lattice, in the limit of infinite number of dimensions.
The formula is investigated in detail, and asymptotic behaviours are evaluated.
The area distribution in the limit of long loops is computed. As a byproduct,
we obtain also an infinite set of new, nontrivial identities.Comment: 17 page
Dynamics of spin correlations in the spin-1/2 isotropic XY chain in a transverse field
Dynamic xx spin pair correlation functions for the isotropic spin-1/2 XY
chain are calculated numerically for long open chains in the presence of a
transverse magnetic field at finite temperature. As an application we discuss
the temperature dependence of the spin-spin relaxation time in PrCl_3.Comment: 2 pages, latex, 2 figures, abstract of the paper presented at Ampere
