The $N$-state chiral Potts model in lattice statistical mechanics can be obtained as a ``descendant'' of the six-vertex model, via an intermediate ``$Q$'' or ``$\tau_2 (t_q)$'' model. Here we generalize this to obtain a column-inhomogeneous…
We introduce new methods to describe admissible states of the six-vertex and the eight-vertex lattice models of statistical mechanics. For the six-vertex model, we view the admissible states as differential forms on a grid graph. This…
This is a review (including some background material) of the author's work and related activity on certain exactly solvable statistical models in two dimensions, including the six-vertex model, loop models and lozenge tilings. Applications…
Some features of integrable lattice models are reviewed for the case of the six-vertex model. By the Bethe ansatz method we derive the free energy of the six-vertex model. Then, from the expression of the free energy we show analytically…
We construct the explicit $Q$-operator incorporated with the $sl_2$-loop-algebra symmetry of the six-vertex model at roots of unity. The functional relations involving the $Q$-operator, the six-vertex transfer matrix and fusion matrices are…
Whereas the tools to determine the eigenvalues of the eight-vertex transfer matrix T are well known there has been until recently incomplete knowledge about the eigenvectors of T. We describe the construction of eigenvectors of T…
We review recent progress towards the solution of exactly solved isotropic vertex models with arbitrary toroidal boundary conditions. Quantum space transformations make it possible the diagonalization of the corresponding transfer matrices…
We derive sets of functional equations for the eight vertex model by exploiting an analogy with the functional equations of the chiral Potts model. From these equations we show that the fusion matrices have special reductions at certain…
We survey the connections between the six-vertex (square ice) model of 2d statistical mechanics and random matrix theory. We highlight the same universal probability distributions appearing on both sides, and also indicate related open…
A generalization of the Yang-Baxter equation is proposed. It enables to construct integrable two-dimensional lattice models with commuting two-layer transfer matrices, while single-layer ones are not necessarily commutative. Explicit…
We introduce and solvev a special family of integrable interacting vertex models that generalizes the well known six-vertex model. In addition to the usual nearest-neighbor interactions among the vertices, there exist extra hard-core…
We construct a $Q$-matrix for the eight-vertex model at roots of unity for crossing parameter $\eta=2mK/L$ with odd $L$, a case for which the existing constructions do not work. The new $Q$-matrix $\Q$ depends as usual on the spectral…
The transfer matrix of the square-lattice eight-vertex model on a strip with $L\geqslant 1$ vertical lines and open boundary conditions is investigated. It is shown that for vertex weights $a,b,c,d$ that obey the relation…
The hidden E_{7} (E_{6}) structure has been conjectured for the minimal model ${\cal M}_{4,5} ({\cal M}_{6,7}$) perturbed by $\Phi_{1,2}$ in the context of conformal field theory(CFT). Motivated by this, we examine the dilute A_{4, 6}…
The functional relations of the transfer matrices of fusion hierachies for six- and eight-vertex models with open boundary conditions have been presented in this paper. We have shown the su($2$) fusion rule for the models with more general…
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…
The rational Kashiwara-Miwa model is an example of an Ising-type integrable model of the statistical physics, related to the six-vertex trigonometric $R$-matrix. Two-spin edge weights of the model are expressed in the terms of $q$-products,…
This is an overview of various aspects of the 6-vertex model in statistical mechanics and related models.
In this work we relate the spectral problem of the toroidal six-vertex model's transfer matrix with the theory of integrable non-linear differential equations. More precisely, we establish an analogy between the Classical Inverse Scattering…
In this work we propose a mechanism for converting the spectral problem of vertex models transfer matrices into the solution of certain linear partial differential equations. This mechanism is illustrated for the…
