We consider the integrable dilute Temperley-Lieb (dTL) O($n=1$) loop model on a semi-infinite strip of finite width $L$. In the analogy with the Temperley-Lieb (TL) O($n=1$) loop model the ground state eigenvector of the transfer matrix is…

In previous work with Scullard, we defined a graph polynomial P_B(q,T) that gives access to the critical temperature T_c of the q-state Potts model on a general two-dimensional lattice L. It depends on a basis B, containing n x m unit cells…

We consider the qKZ equations based on the two boundaries Temperley Lieb algebra. We construct their solution in the case $s=q^{-3/2}$ using a recursion relation. At the combinatorial point $q^{1/2}= e^{-2\pi i/3}$ the solution reduces to…

For the scalar product $S_n$ of the XXZ $s=1/2$ spin chain we derive a new determinant expression which is symmetric in the Bethe roots. We consider an application of this formula to the inhomogeneous groundstate of the model with…

Integral formulae for polynomial solutions of the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations associated with the R-matrix of the six-vertex model are considered. It is proved that when the deformation parameter q is equal to e^{+- 2 pi i/3}…

The eight-vertex model on the square lattice with vertex weights $a,b,c,d$ obeying the relation $(a^2+ab)(b^2+ab)=(c^2+ab)(d^2+ab)$ is considered. Its transfer matrix with $L=2n+1,\, n\geqslant 0,$ vertical lines and periodic boundary…

We discuss in this paper combinatorial aspects of boundary loop models, that is models of self-avoiding loops on a strip where loops get different weights depending on whether they touch the left, the right, both or no boundary. These…
