Bethe Ansatz solution of a decagonal rectangle triangle random tiling
A random tiling of rectangles and triangles displaying a decagonal phase is
solved by Bethe Ansatz. Analogously to the solutions of the dodecagonal square
triangle and the octagonal rectangle triangle tiling an exact expression for
the maximum of the entropy is found.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, some remarks added and typos correcte
Supersymmetry on Jacobstahl lattices
It is shown that the construction of Yang and Fendley (2004 {\it J. Phys. A:
Math.Gen. {\bf 37}} 8937) to obtainsupersymmetric systems, leads not to the
open XXZ chain with anisotropy but to systems having
dimensions given by Jacobstahl sequences.For each system the ground state is
unique. The continuum limit of the spectra of the Jacobstahl systems coincide,
up to degeneracies, with that of the invariant XXZ chain for
. The relation between the Jacobstahl systems and the open XXZ
chain is explained.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figure
The pair annihilation reaction D + D --> 0 in disordered media and conformal invariance
The raise and peel model describes the stochastic model of a fluctuating
interface separating a substrate covered with clusters of matter of different
sizes, and a rarefied gas of tiles. The stationary state is obtained when
adsorption compensates the desorption of tiles. This model is generalized to an
interface with defects (D). The defects are either adjacent or separated by a
cluster. If a tile hits the end of a cluster with a defect nearby, the defect
hops at the other end of the cluster changing its shape. If a tile hits two
adjacent defects, the defect annihilate and are replaced by a small cluster.
There are no defects in the stationary state.
This model can be seen as describing the reaction D + D -->0, in which the
particles (defects) D hop at long distances changing the medium and annihilate.
Between the hops the medium also changes (tiles hit clusters changing their
shapes). Several properties of this model are presented and some exact results
are obtained using the connection of our model with a conformal invariant
quantum chain.Comment: 8 pages, 12figure
Raise and Peel Models of fluctuating interfaces and combinatorics of Pascal's hexagon
The raise and peel model of a one-dimensional fluctuating interface (model A)
is extended by considering one source (model B) or two sources (model C) at the
boundaries. The Hamiltonians describing the three processes have, in the
thermodynamic limit, spectra given by conformal field theory. The probability
of the different configurations in the stationary states of the three models
are not only related but have interesting combinatorial properties. We show
that by extending Pascal's triangle (which gives solutions to linear relations
in terms of integer numbers), to an hexagon, one obtains integer solutions of
bilinear relations. These solutions give not only the weights of the various
configurations in the three models but also give an insight to the connections
between the probability distributions in the stationary states of the three
models. Interestingly enough, Pascal's hexagon also gives solutions to a
Hirota's difference equation.Comment: 33 pages, an abstract and an introduction are rewritten, few

Conformal invariance and its breaking in a stochastic model of a fluctuating interface
Using Monte-Carlo simulations on large lattices, we study the effects of
changing the parameter (the ratio of the adsorption and desorption rates)
of the raise and peel model. This is a nonlocal stochastic model of a
fluctuating interface. We show that for the system is massive, for
it is massless and conformal invariant. For the conformal
invariance is broken. The system is in a scale invariant but not conformal
invariant phase. As far as we know it is the first example of a system which
shows such a behavior. Moreover in the broken phase, the critical exponents
vary continuously with the parameter . This stays true also for the critical
exponent which characterizes the probability distribution function of
avalanches (the critical exponent staying unchanged).Comment: 22 pages and 20 figure
Exact Solution of an Octagonal Random Tiling Model
We consider the two-dimensional random tiling model introduced by Cockayne,
i.e. the ensemble of all possible coverings of the plane without gaps or
overlaps with squares and various hexagons. At the appropriate relative
densities the correlations have eight-fold rotational symmetry. We reformulate
the model in terms of a random tiling ensemble with identical rectangles and
isosceles triangles. The partition function of this model can be calculated by
diagonalizing a transfer matrix using the Bethe Ansatz (BA). The BA equations
can be solved providing {\em exact} values of the entropy and elastic
constants.Comment: 4 pages,3 Postscript figures, uses revte
The Wave Functions for the Free-Fermion Part of the Spectrum of the Quantum Spin Models
We conjecture that the free-fermion part of the eigenspectrum observed
recently for the Perk-Schultz spin chain Hamiltonian in a finite
lattice with is a consequence of the existence of a
special simple eigenvalue for the transfer matrix of the auxiliary
inhomogeneous vertex model which appears in the nested Bethe ansatz
approach. We prove that this conjecture is valid for the case of the SU(3) spin
chain with periodic boundary condition. In this case we obtain a formula for
the components of the eigenvector of the auxiliary inhomogeneous 6-vertex model
(), which permit us to find one by one all components of
this eigenvector and consequently to find the eigenvectors of the free-fermion
part of the eigenspectrum of the SU(3) spin chain. Similarly as in the known
case of the case at our numerical and analytical
studies induce some conjectures for special rates of correlation functions.Comment: 25 pages and no figure
Slowest relaxation mode of the partially asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries
We analyze the Bethe ansatz equations describing the complete spectrum of the
transition matrix of the partially asymmetric exclusion process on a finite
lattice and with the most general open boundary conditions. We extend results
obtained recently for totally asymmetric diffusion [J. de Gier and F.H.L.
Essler, J. Stat. Mech. P12011 (2006)] to the case of partial symmetry. We
determine the finite-size scaling of the spectral gap, which characterizes the
approach to stationarity at large times, in the low and high density regimes
and on the coexistence line. We observe boundary induced crossovers and discuss
possible interpretations of our results in terms of effective domain wall
theories.Comment: 30 pages, 9 figures, typeset for pdflatex; revised versio
Refined Razumov-Stroganov conjectures for open boundaries
Recently it has been conjectured that the ground-state of a Markovian
Hamiltonian, with one boundary operator, acting in a link pattern space is
related to vertically and horizontally symmetric alternating-sign matrices
(equivalently fully-packed loop configurations (FPL) on a grid with special
boundaries).We extend this conjecture by introducing an arbitrary boundary
parameter. We show that the parameter dependent ground state is related to
refined vertically symmetric alternating-sign matrices i.e. with prescribed
configurations (respectively, prescribed FPL configurations) in the next to
central row.
We also conjecture a relation between the ground-state of a Markovian
Hamiltonian with two boundary operators and arbitrary coefficients and some
doubly refined (dependence on two parameters) FPL configurations. Our
conjectures might be useful in the study of ground-states of the O(1) and XXZ
models, as well as the stationary states of Raise and Peel models.Comment: 11 pages LaTeX, 8 postscript figure
Structure of the two-boundary XXZ model with non-diagonal boundary terms
We study the integrable XXZ model with general non-diagonal boundary terms at
both ends. The Hamiltonian is considered in terms of a two boundary extension
of the Temperley-Lieb algebra.
We use a basis that diagonalizes a conserved charge in the one-boundary case.
The action of the second boundary generator on this space is computed. For the
L-site chain and generic values of the parameters we have an irreducible space
of dimension 2^L. However at certain critical points there exists a smaller
irreducible subspace that is invariant under the action of all the bulk and
boundary generators. These are precisely the points at which Bethe Ansatz
equations have been formulated. We compute the dimension of the invariant
subspace at each critical point and show that it agrees with the splitting of
eigenvalues, found numerically, between the two Bethe Ansatz equations.Comment: 9 pages Latex. Minor correction
