Partial domain wall partition functions
We consider six-vertex model configurations on an n-by-N lattice, n =< N,
that satisfy a variation on domain wall boundary conditions that we define and
call "partial domain wall boundary conditions". We obtain two expressions for
the corresponding "partial domain wall partition function", as an
(N-by-N)-determinant and as an (n-by-n)-determinant. The latter was first
obtained by I Kostov. We show that the two determinants are equal, as expected
from the fact that they are partition functions of the same object, that each
is a discrete KP tau-function, and, recalling that these determinants represent
tree-level structure constants in N=4 SYM, we show that introducing 1-loop
corrections, as proposed by N Gromov and P Vieira, preserves the determinant
structure.Comment: 30 pages, LaTeX. This version, which appeared in JHEP, has an

The Gervais-Neveu-Felder equation and the quantum Calogero-Moser systems
We quantize the spin Calogero-Moser model in the -matrix formalism. The
quantum -matrix of the model is dynamical. This -matrix has already
appeared in Gervais-Neveu's quantization of Toda field theory and in Felder's
quantization of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equation.Comment: Comments and References adde
Three-point function of semiclassical states at weak coupling
We give the derivation of the previously announced analytic expression for
the correlation function of three heavy non-BPS operators in N=4
super-Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. The three operators belong to three
different su(2) sectors and are dual to three classical strings moving on the
sphere. Our computation is based on the reformulation of the problem in terms
of the Bethe Ansatz for periodic XXX spin-1/2 chains. In these terms the three
operators are described by long-wave-length excitations over the ferromagnetic
vacuum, for which the number of the overturned spins is a finite fraction of
the length of the chain, and the classical limit is known as the Sutherland
limit. Technically our main result is a factorized operator expression for the
scalar product of two Bethe states. The derivation is based on a fermionic
representation of Slavnov's determinant formula, and a subsequent bosonisation.Comment: 28 pages, 5 figures, cosmetic changes and more typos corrected in v
-Deformed Grassmann Field and the Two-dimensional Ising Model
In this paper we construct the exact representation of the Ising partition
function in the form of the -invariant functional integral for the
lattice free -fermion field theory (). It is shown that the
-fermionization allows one to re-express the partition function of the
eight-vertex model in external field through functional integral with
four-fermion interaction. To construct these representations, we define a
lattice -deformed Grassmann bispinor field and extend the Berezin
integration rules to this field. At we obtain the lattice
-fermion field which allows us to fermionize the two-dimensional Ising
model. We show that the Gaussian integral over -Grassmann variables is
expressed through the -deformed Pfaffian which is equal to square root
of the determinant of some matrix at .Comment: 24 pages, LaTeX; minor change
Crystal isomorphisms in Fock spaces and Schensted correspondence in affine type A
We are interested in the structure of the crystal graph of level Fock
spaces representations of . Since
the work of Shan [26], we know that this graph encodes the modular branching
rule for a corresponding cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra. Besides, it
appears to be closely related to the Harish-Chandra branching graph for the
appropriate finite unitary group, according to [8]. In this paper, we make
explicit a particular isomorphism between connected components of the crystal
graphs of Fock spaces. This so-called "canonical" crystal isomorphism turns out
to be expressible only in terms of: - Schensted's classic bumping procedure, -
the cyclage isomorphism defined in [13], - a new crystal isomorphism, easy to
describe, acting on cylindric multipartitions. We explain how this can be seen
as an analogue of the bumping algorithm for affine type . Moreover, it
yields a combinatorial characterisation of the vertices of any connected
component of the crystal of the Fock space
Bulk correlation functions in 2D quantum gravity
We compute bulk 3- and 4-point tachyon correlators in the 2d Liouville
gravity with non-rational matter central charge c<1, following and comparing
two approaches. The continuous CFT approach exploits the action on the tachyons
of the ground ring generators deformed by Liouville and matter ``screening
charges''. A by-product general formula for the matter 3-point OPE structure
constants is derived. We also consider a ``diagonal'' CFT of 2D quantum
gravity, in which the degenerate fields are restricted to the diagonal of the
semi-infinite Kac table. The discrete formulation of the theory is a
generalization of the ADE string theories, in which the target space is the
semi-infinite chain of points.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure
Off-Critical Logarithmic Minimal Models
We consider the integrable minimal models , corresponding
to the perturbation off-criticality, in the {\it logarithmic
limit\,} , where are coprime and the
limit is taken through coprime values of . We view these off-critical
minimal models as the continuum scaling limit of the
Forrester-Baxter Restricted Solid-On-Solid (RSOS) models on the square lattice.
Applying Corner Transfer Matrices to the Forrester-Baxter RSOS models in Regime
III, we argue that taking first the thermodynamic limit and second the {\it
logarithmic limit\,} yields off-critical logarithmic minimal models corresponding to the perturbation of the critical
logarithmic minimal models . Specifically, in accord with the
Kyoto correspondence principle, we show that the logarithmic limit of the
one-dimensional configurational sums yields finitized quasi-rational characters
of the Kac representations of the critical logarithmic minimal models . We also calculate the logarithmic limit of certain off-critical
observables related to One Point Functions and show that the
associated critical exponents
produce all conformal dimensions in the infinitely extended Kac table. The corresponding Kac labels
satisfy . The exponent is obtained from the logarithmic limit of the free energy giving the
conformal dimension for the perturbing field . As befits a non-unitary
theory, some observables diverge at criticality.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figures; version 3 contains amplifications and minor

Domain wall partition functions and KP
We observe that the partition function of the six vertex model on a finite
square lattice with domain wall boundary conditions is (a restriction of) a KP
tau function and express it as an expectation value of charged free fermions
(up to an overall normalization).Comment: 16 pages, LaTeX2
Paths and partitions: combinatorial descriptions of the parafermionic states
The Z_k parafermionic conformal field theories, despite the relative
complexity of their modes algebra, offer the simplest context for the study of
the bases of states and their different combinatorial representations. Three
bases are known. The classic one is given by strings of the fundamental
parafermionic operators whose sequences of modes are in correspondence with
restricted partitions with parts at distance k-1 differing at least by 2.
Another basis is expressed in terms of the ordered modes of the k-1 different
parafermionic fields, which are in correspondence with the so-called multiple
partitions. Both types of partitions have a natural (Bressoud) path
representation. Finally, a third basis, formulated in terms of different paths,
is inherited from the solution of the restricted solid-on-solid model of
Andrews-Baxter-Forrester. The aim of this work is to review, in a unified and
pedagogical exposition, these four different combinatorial representations of
the states of the Z_k parafermionic models.
The first part of this article presents the different paths and partitions
and their bijective relations; it is purely combinatorial, self-contained and
elementary; it can be read independently of the conformal-field-theory
applications. The second part links this combinatorial analysis with the bases
of states of the Z_k parafermionic theories. With the prototypical example of
the parafermionic models worked out in detail, this analysis contributes to fix
some foundations for the combinatorial study of more complicated theories.
Indeed, as we briefly indicate in ending, generalized versions of both the
Bressoud and the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester paths emerge naturally in the
description of the minimal models.Comment: 53 pages (v2: minor modifications,v3: 3 typos corrected); to appear
