New enumeration formulas for alternating sign matrices and square ice partition functions

چکیده
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 Conjecture of Mills-Robbins-Rumsey [25], its proof by Zeilberger [31], and more recent work on doublyrefined and triply-refined enumeration by several authors. In this paper we extend the previously known results on this problem by deriving explicit enumeration formulas for the “top-left-bottom” (triply-refined) and “top-left-bottom-right” (quadruply-refined) enumerations. The latter case solves the problem of computing the full boundary correlation function for ASMs. The enumeration formulas are proved by deriving new representations, which are of independent interest, for the partition function of the square ice model with domain wall boundary conditions at the “combinatorial point” η = 2π/3.

Enumeration of Symmetry Classes of Alternating Sign Matrices and Characters of Classical Groups
An alternating sign matrix is a square matrix with entries 1, 0 and −1 such that the sum of the entries in each row and each column is equal to 1 and the nonzero entries alternate in sign along each row and each column. To some of the symmetry classes of alternating sign matrices and their variations, G. Kuperberg associate square ice models with appropriate boundary conditions, and give determ...
متن کاملBoundary correlation functions of the six - vertex model
We consider the six-vertex model on an N × N square lattice with the domain wall boundary conditions. Boundary one-point correlation functions of the model are expressed as determinants of N × N matrices, generalizing the known result for the partition function. In the free fermion case the explicit answers are obtained. The introduced correlation functions are closely related to the problem of...
متن کاملAn Izergin–korepin-type Identity for the 8vsos Model, with Applications to Alternating Sign Matrices
We obtain a new expression for the partition function of the 8VSOS model with domain wall boundary conditions, which we consider to be the natural extension of the Izergin– Korepin formula for the six-vertex model. As applications, we find dynamical (in the sense of the dynamical Yang–Baxter equation) generalizations of the enumeration and 2-enumeration of alternating sign matrices. The dynamic...
متن کاملU–turn alternating sign matrices, symplectic shifted tableaux and their weighted enumeration
Alternating sign matrices with a U–turn boundary (UASMs) are a recent generalization of ordinary alternating sign matrices. Here we show that variations of these matrices are in bijective correspondence with certain symplectic shifted tableaux that were recently introduced in the context of a symplectic version of Tokuyama’s deformation of Weyl’s denominator formula. This bijection yields a for...
متن کاملDoubly-refined enumeration of Alternating Sign Matrices and determinants of 2-staircase Schur functions
We prove a determinantal identity concerning Schur functions for 2staircase diagrams λ = (ln+l, ln, l(n−1)+l′, l(n−1), . . . , l+l, l, l, 0). When l = 1 and l = 0 these functions are related to the partition function of the 6-vertex model at the combinatorial point and hence to enumerations of Alternating Sign Matrices. A consequence of our result is an identity concerning the doubly-refined nu...
