AbstractWe study the eight-vertex model at its free-fermion point. We express a new “switching” symmetry of the model in several forms: partition functions, order-disorder variables, couplings, Kasteleyn matrices. This symmetry can be used to relate free-fermion 8V-models to free-fermion 6V-models, or bipartite dimers. We also define new solution of the Yang–Baxter equations in a “checkerboard” setting, and a corresponding Z-invariant model. Using the bipartite dimers of Boutillier et al. (Probab Theory Relat Fields 174:235–305, 2019), we give exact local formulas for edge correlations in the Z-invariant free-fermion 8V-model on lozenge graphs, and we deduce the construction of an ergodic Gibbs measure.

Using the representation of the quantum group SL q(2) by the Weyl operators of the canonical commutation relations in quantum mechanics, we construct and solve a new vertex model on a square lattice. Random variables on horizontal bonds are Ising variables, and those on the vertical bonds take half positive integer values. The vertex is subjected to a generalized form of the so-called “ice rule,” its property is studied in detail and its free energy calculated with the method of quantum inverse scattering. Remarkably, in analogy with the usual six-vertex model, there exists a “free-fermion” limit with a novel rich operator structure. The existing algebraic structure suggests a possible connection with a lattice neutral plasma of charges, via the fermion-boson correspondence.

We apply the Izergin-Korepin analysis to the study of the projected wavefunctions of the generalized free-fermion model. We introduce a generalization of the L-operator of the six-vertex model by Bump-Brubaker-Friedberg and Bump-McNamara-Nakasuji. We make the Izergin-Korepin analysis to characterize the projected wavefunctions and show that they can be expressed as a product of factors and certain symmetric functions which generalizes the factorial Schur functions. This result can be seen as a generalization of the Tokuyama formula for the factorial Schur functions.

AbstractWe study the Littlewood–Richardson coefficients of double Grothendieck polynomials indexed by Grassmannian permutations. Geometrically, these are the structure constants of the equivariant K-theory ring of Grassmannians. Representing the double Grothendieck polynomials as partition functions of an integrable vertex model, we use its Yang–Baxter equation to derive a series of product rules for the former polynomials and their duals. The Littlewood–Richardson coefficients that arise can all be expressed in terms of puzzles without gashes, which generalize previous puzzles obtained by Knutson–Tao and Vakil.

This chapter presents the study of a homogeneous stochastic higher spin six-vertex model in a quadrant. For this model concise integral representations for multipoint q-moments of the height function and for the q-correlation functions are derived. At least in the case of the step initial condition, these formulas degenerate in appropriate limits to many known formulas of such type for integrable probabilistic systems in the (1+1)d KPZ universality class, including the stochastic six-vertex model, ASEP, various q-TASEPs, and associated zero-range processes. The arguments are largely based on properties of a family of symmetric rational functions that can be defined as partition functions of the higher spin six-vertex model for suitable domains; they generalize classical Hall–Littlewood and Schur polynomials. A key role is played by Cauchy-like summation identities for these functions, which are obtained as a direct corollary of the Yang–Baxter equation for the higher spin six-vertex model.
