The problem of limit shapes in the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions is addressed by considering a specially tailored bulk correlation function, the emptiness formation probability. A closed expression of this…
Four natural boundary statistics and two natural bulk statistics are considered for alternating sign matrices (ASMs). Specifically, these statistics are the positions of the 1's in the first and last rows and columns of an ASM, and the…
We study the emptiness formation probability (EFP) in the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. We present a conjecture according to which at the ice point, i.e., when all the Boltzmann weights are equal, the known multiple…
We study limit shapes in two equivalent models: the six-vertex model in the $c\to0$ limit and the random Mallows permutation with restricted permutation matrix. We give the Euler-Lagrange equation for the limit shape and show how to solve…
The aim of this work is to enumerate alternating sign matrices (ASM) that are quasi-invariant under a quarter-turn. The enumeration formula (conjectured by Duchon) involves, as a product of three terms, the number of unrestricted ASM's and…

The main result of this paper is the construction of infinitely many conserved quantities (corresponding to commuting transfer-matrices) for the limit shape equation for the 6-vertex model on a cylinder. This suggests that the limit shape…
We define and study a new family of polytopes which are formed as convex hulls of partial alternating sign matrices. We determine the inequality descriptions, number of facets, and face lattices of these polytopes. We also study partial…
We consider the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. We choose the inhomogeneities as solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations. The Bethe Ansatz equations have many solutions, so we can consider a wide variety of…
We prove a conjecture of Cohn and Propp, which refines a conjecture of Bosley and Fidkowski about the symmetry of the set of alternating sign matrices (ASMs). We examine data arising from the representation of an ASM as a collection of…
We initiate the study of limit shapes for random permutations avoiding a given pattern. Specifically, for patterns of length 3, we obtain delicate results on the asymptotics of distributions of positions of numbers in the permutations. We…
The open problem of calculating the limiting spectrum (or its Shannon transform) of increasingly large random Hermitian finite-band matrices is described. In general, these matrices include a finite number of non-zero diagonals around their…
The six-vertex model is an important toy-model in statistical mechanics for two-dimensional ice with a natural parameter $\Delta$. When $\Delta = 0$, the so-called free-fermion point, the model is in natural correspondence with domino…
In the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions, the emptiness formation probability is the probability that a rectangular region in the top left corner of the lattice is frozen. We generalize this notion to the case where the…
The four major asymptotic level density laws of random matrix theory may all be showcased though their Jacobi parameter representation as having a bordered Toeplitz form. We compare and contrast these laws, completing and exploring their…
Fulton's matrix Schubert varieties are affine varieties that arise in the study of Schubert calculus in the complete flag variety. Weigandt showed that arbitrary intersections of matrix Schubert varieties, now called ASM varieties, are…
We study scaling limits of random permutations ("permutons") constrained by having fixed densities of a finite number of patterns. We show that the limit shapes are determined by maximizing entropy over permutons with those constraints. In…
The refined enumeration of alternating sign matrices (ASMs) of given order having prescribed behavior near one or more of their boundary edges has been the subject of extensive study, starting with the Refined Alternating Sign Matrix…
In random tiling and dimer models we can get various limit shapes which gives the boundaries between different types of phases. The shape fluctuations at these boundaries give rise to universal limit laws, in particular the Airy process. We…
Consider the stationary measure of open asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) on the lattice $\{1,\dots,n\}$. Taking $n$ to infinity while fixing the jump rates, this measure converges to a measure on the semi-infinite lattice. In the…
