Open boundary Quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation and the weighted enumeration of Plane Partitions with symmetries
We propose new conjectures relating sum rules for the polynomial solution of
the qKZ equation with open (reflecting) boundaries as a function of the quantum
parameter and the -enumeration of Plane Partitions with specific
symmetries, with . We also find a conjectural relation \`a la
Razumov-Stroganov between the limit of the qKZ solution and refined
numbers of Totally Symmetric Self Complementary Plane Partitions.Comment: 27 pages, uses lanlmac, epsf and hyperbasics, minor revision
Quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation: reflecting boundary conditions and combinatorics
We consider the level 1 solution of quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equation
with reflecting boundary conditions which is relevant to the Temperley--Lieb
model of loops on a strip. By use of integral formulae we prove conjectures
relating it to the weighted enumeration of Cyclically Symmetric Transpose
Complement Plane Partitions and related combinatorial objects
The solution of the quantum T-system for arbitrary boundary
We solve the quantum version of the -system by use of quantum
networks. The system is interpreted as a particular set of mutations of a
suitable (infinite-rank) quantum cluster algebra, and Laurent positivity
follows from our solution. As an application we re-derive the corresponding
quantum network solution to the quantum -system and generalize it to
the fully non-commutative case. We give the relation between the quantum
-system and the quantum lattice Liouville equation, which is the quantized
-system.Comment: 24 pages, 18 figure
Discrete integrable systems, positivity, and continued fraction rearrangements
In this review article, we present a unified approach to solving discrete,
integrable, possibly non-commutative, dynamical systems, including the - and
-systems based on . The initial data of the systems are seen as cluster
variables in a suitable cluster algebra, and may evolve by local mutations. We
show that the solutions are always expressed as Laurent polynomials of the
initial data with non-negative integer coefficients. This is done by
reformulating the mutations of initial data as local rearrangements of
continued fractions generating some particular solutions, that preserve
manifest positivity. We also show how these techniques apply as well to
non-commutative settings.Comment: 24 pages, 2 figure

Sum rules for the ground states of the O(1) loop model on a cylinder and the XXZ spin chain
The sums of components of the ground states of the O(1) loop model on a
cylinder or of the XXZ quantum spin chain at Delta=-1/2 (of size L) are
expressed in terms of combinatorial numbers. The methods include the
introduction of spectral parameters and the use of integrability, a mapping
from size L to L+1, and knot-theoretic skein relations.Comment: final version to be publishe
A Sharing- and Competition-Aware Framework for Cellular Network Evolution Planning
Mobile network operators are facing the difficult task of significantly
increasing capacity to meet projected demand while keeping CAPEX and OPEX down.
We argue that infrastructure sharing is a key consideration in operators'
planning of the evolution of their networks, and that such planning can be
viewed as a stage in the cognitive cycle. In this paper, we present a framework
to model this planning process while taking into account both the ability to
share resources and the constraints imposed by competition regulation (the
latter quantified using the Herfindahl index). Using real-world demand and
deployment data, we find that the ability to share infrastructure essentially
moves capacity from rural, sparsely populated areas (where some of the current
infrastructure can be decommissioned) to urban ones (where most of the
next-generation base stations would be deployed), with significant increases in
resource efficiency. Tight competition regulation somewhat limits the ability
to share but does not entirely jeopardize those gains, while having the
secondary effect of encouraging the wider deployment of next-generation
technologies
Loop model with mixed boundary conditions, qKZ equation and alternating sign matrices
The integrable loop model with mixed boundary conditions based on the
1-boundary extended Temperley--Lieb algebra with loop weight 1 is considered.
The corresponding qKZ equation is introduced and its minimal degree solution
described. As a result, the sum of the properly normalized components of the
ground state in size L is computed and shown to be equal to the number of
Horizontally and Vertically Symmetric Alternating Sign Matrices of size 2L+3. A
refined counting is also considered
Inhomogeneous loop models with open boundaries
We consider the crossing and non-crossing O(1) dense loop models on a
semi-infinite strip, with inhomogeneities (spectral parameters) that preserve
the integrability. We compute the components of the ground state vector and
obtain a closed expression for their sum, in the form of Pfaffian and
determinantal formulas.Comment: 42 pages, 31 figures, minor corrections, references correcte
The Razumov-Stroganov conjecture: Stochastic processes, loops and combinatorics
A fascinating conjectural connection between statistical mechanics and
combinatorics has in the past five years led to the publication of a number of
papers in various areas, including stochastic processes, solvable lattice
models and supersymmetry. This connection, known as the Razumov-Stroganov
conjecture, expresses eigenstates of physical systems in terms of objects known
from combinatorics, which is the mathematical theory of counting. This note
intends to explain this connection in light of the recent papers by Zinn-Justin
and Di Francesco.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, JSTAT News & Perspective
