This is an overview of various aspects of the 6-vertex model in statistical mechanics and related models.
The inhomogeneous six-vertex model is a 2$D$ multiparametric integrable statistical system. In the scaling limit it is expected to cover different classes of critical behaviour which, for the most part, have remained unexplored. For general…
Some combinatorial properties of fixed boundary rhombus random tilings with octagonal symmetry are studied. A geometrical analysis of their configuration space is given as well as a description in terms of discrete dynamical systems, thus…
We consider tilings of quadriculated regions by dominoes and of triangulated regions by lozenges. We present an overview of results concerning tileability, enumeration and the structure of the space of tilings.
We discuss the use of methods coming from integrable systems to study problems of enumerative and algebraic combinatorics, and develop two examples: the enumeration of Alternating Sign Matrices and related combinatorial objects, and the…
Enumeration of tilings is the mathematical study concerning the total number of coverings of regions by similar pieces without gaps or overlaps. Enumeration of tilings has become a vibrant subfield of combinatorics with connections and…
As a prelude to what might be expected as forthcoming breakthroughs in finding new approaches toward solving three-dimensional lattice models in the twenty-first century, we review the exact solutions of two lattice models in three…
The procedure for obtaining integrable vertex models via reflection matrices on the square lattice with open boundaries is reviewed and explicitly carried out for a number of two- and three-state vertex models. These models include the…
We present a detailed study of the combinatorial interpretation of matrix integrals, including the examples of tessellations of arbitrary genera, and loop models on random surfaces. After reviewing their methods of solution, we apply these…
A finite set of integers $A$ tiles the integers by translations if $\mathbb{Z}$ can be covered by pairwise disjoint translated copies of $A$. Restricting attention to one tiling period, we have $A\oplus B=\mathbb{Z}_M$ for some…
The exactly solvable four-vertex model on a square grid with the different boundary conditions is considered. The application of the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz method allows to calculate the partition function of the model. For the fixed…
We study the integrability of the quantized six-vertex model with four parameters on a torus. It is a three-dimensional integrable lattice model in which a layer transfer matrix, depending on two spectral parameters associated with the…
We address the six vertex model on a random lattice, which in combinatorial terms corresponds to the enumeration of weighted 4-valent planar maps equipped with an Eulerian orientation. This problem was exactly, albeit non-rigorously solved…
Motivated by the enumeration of a class of plane partitions studied by Proctor and by considerations about symmetry classes of plane partitions, we consider the problem of enumerating lozenge tilings of a hexagon with ``maximal staircases''…
Two-, three- and four-dimensional representations of Penrose tilings of the plane are described. The vertices that occur in these representations lie on lattices. Symmetries and methods of visualizing these representations are discussed.…
The family of right-angled tiling links consists of links built from regular 4-valent tilings of constant-curvature surfaces that contain one or two types of tiles. The complements of these links admit complete hyperbolic structures and…
The present article studies combinatorial tilings of Euclidean or spherical spaces by polytopes, serving two main purposes: first, to survey some of the main developments in combinatorial space tiling; and second, to highlight some new and…
We derive an analog of the master equation obtained recently for correlation functions of the XXZ chain for a wide class of quantum integrable systems described by the R-matrix of the six-vertex model, including in particular continuum…
Tiling models are classical statistical models in which different geometric shapes, the tiles, are packed together such that they cover space completely. In this paper we discuss a class of two-dimensional tiling models in which the tiles…
Integer compositions, integer partitions, Fibonacci numbers, and generalizations of these have recently been shown to be interconnected via two-toned tilings of horizontal grids. In this article, we present refinements of two-toned tilings,…
