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

Water does partially dissociate on the perfect TiO2(110) surface : a quantitative structure determination
There has been a long-standing controversy as to whether water can dissociate on perfect areas of a TiO2(110) surface; most early theoretical work indicated this dissociation was facile, while experiments indicated little or no dissociation. More recently the consensus of most theoretical calculations is that no dissociation occurs. New results presented here, based on analysis of scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction data from the OH component of O 1s photoemission, show the coexistence of molecular water and OH species in both atop (OHt) and bridging (OHbr) sites. OHbr can arise from reaction with oxygen vacancy defect sites (Ovac), but OHt have only been predicted to arise from dissociation on the perfect areas of the surface. The relative concentrations of OHt and OHbr sites arising from these two dissociation mechanisms are found to be fully consistent with the initial concentration Ovac sites, while the associated Ti-O bondlengths of the OHt and OHbr species are found to be 1.85±0.08Å and 1.94±0.07 Å, respectively
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
Entanglement Entropy of the Low-Lying Excited States and Critical Properties of an Exactly Solvable Two-Leg Spin Ladder with Three-Spin Interactions
In this work, we investigate an exactly solvable two-leg spin ladder with
three-spin interactions. We obtain analytically the finite-size corrections of
the low-lying energies and determine the central charge as well as the scaling
dimensions. The model considered in this work has the same universality class
of critical behavior of the XX chain with central charge c=1. By using the
correlation matrix method, we also study the finite-size corrections of the
Renyi entropy of the ground state and of the excited states. Our results are in
agreement with the predictions of the conformal field theory.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, 2 table
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
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
