We study the free energy and limit shape problem for the five-vertex model with periodic "genus zero" weights. We derive the exact phase diagram, free energy and surface tension for this model. We show that its surface tension has trivial…
We consider the five-vertex model on a rectangular domain of the square lattice, with the so-called `scalar-product' boundary conditions. We address the evaluation of the free-energy density of the model in the scaling limit, that is when…
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…
We study the 6-vertex model with fixed boundary conditions. In the thermodynamical limit there is a formation of the limit shape. We collect most of the known results about the analytical properties of the free energy of the model as the…
In this paper we prove that the Euler-Lagrange equations for the limit shape for the inhomogeneous six vertex model on a cylinder have infinitely many conserved quantities.
We discuss how to construct limit shapes for the domino tiling model (square lattice dimer model) and $5$-vertex model, in appropriate polygonal domains. Our methods are based on the harmonic extension method of [R. Kenyon and I. Prause,…
The free energies of six-vertex models on general domain D with various boundary conditions are investigated with the use of the n-equivalence relation which classifies the thermodynamic limit properties. It is derived that the free energy…

In this paper we study surfaces in R^3 that arise as limit shapes in a class of random surface models arising from dimer models. The limit shapes are minimizers of a surface tension functional, that is, they minimize, for fixed boundary…
We consider the spherical limit of multi-matrix models on regular target graphs, for instance single or multiple Potts models, or lattices of arbitrary dimension. We show, to all orders in the low temperature expansion, that when the degree…
We introduce a modified Kirchhoff-Plateau problem adding an energy term to penalize shape modifications of the cross-sections appended to the elastic midline. In a specific setting, we characterize quantitatively some properties of…
We investigate relations between spatial properties of the free energy and the radius of Gaussian curvature of the underlying curved lattice geometries. For this purpose we derive recurrence relations for the analysis of the free energy…
In a recent paper by Iglesias, Rumpf and Scherzer (Found. Comput. Math. 18(4), 2018) a variational model for deformations matching a pair of shapes given as level set functions was proposed. Its main feature is the presence of anisotropic…
We study the dependence of entropy [per lattice site] of six-vertex model on boundary conditions. We start with lattices of finite size and then proceed to thermodynamic limit. We argue that the six-vertex model with periodic, anti-periodic…
A special family of solvable five-vertex model is introduced on a square lattice. In addition to the usual nearest neighbor interactions, the vertices defining the model also interact alongone of the diagonals of the lattice. Such family of…
Consider a surface, enclosing a fixed volume, described by a free-energy depending only on the local geometry; for example, the Canham-Helfrich energy quadratic in the mean curvature describes a fluid membrane. The stress at any point on…
The issue of different parameterizations of the axisymmetric vesicle shape addressed by Hu Jian-Guo and Ou-Yang Zhong-Can [ Phys.Rev. E {\bf 47} (1993) 461 ] is reassesed, especially as it transpires through the corresponding Euler -…
The 'n-equivalences' of boundary conditions of lattice models are introduced and it is derived that the models with n-equivalent boundary conditions result in the identical free energy. It is shown that the free energy of the six-vertex…
We study limit shapes for dimer models on domains of the hexagonal lattice with free boundary conditions. This is equivalent to the large deviation phenomenon for a random stepped surface over domains fixed only at part of the boundary.
The surface free energies, interfacial tensions and correlation lengths of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester models in regimes III and IV are calculated with fixed boundary conditions. The interfacial tensions are calculated between arbitrary…
