A Combinatorial Description of Certain Polynomials Related to the XYZ Spin Chain. II. The Polynomials $p_n$

By specializing the parameters in the partition function of the 8VSOS model with domain wall boundary conditions and diagonal reflecting end, we find connections between the three-color model and certain polynomials $p_n(z)$, which are conjectured to be equal to certain polynomials of Bazhanov and Mangazeev, appearing in the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian of the supersymmetric XYZ spin chain. This article is a continuation of a previous paper where we investigated the related polynomials $q_n(z)$, also conjectured to be equal to polynomials of Bazhanov and Mangazeev, appearing in the eigenvectors of the supersymmetric XYZ spin chain.

Exact results for the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions and a partially reflecting end

The trigonometric six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions and one partially reflecting end on a lattice of size $2n\times m$, $m\leq n$, is considered. The partition function is computed using the Izergin-Korepin method, generalizing the result of Foda and Zarembo from the rational to the trigonometric case. Thereafter we specify the parameters in Kuperberg's way to get a formula for the number of states as a determinant of Wilson polynomials. We relate this to a type of ASM-like matrices.

A Combinatorial Description of Certain Polynomials Related to the XYZ Spin Chain

We study the connection between the three-color model and the polynomials $q_n(z)$ of Bazhanov and Mangazeev, which appear in the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian of the XYZ spin chain. By specializing the parameters in the partition function of the 8VSOS model with DWBC and reflecting end, we find an explicit combinatorial expression for $q_n(z)$ in terms of the partition function of the three-color model with the same boundary conditions. Bazhanov and Mangazeev conjectured that $q_n(z)$ has positive integer coefficients. We prove the weaker statement that $q_n(z+1)$ and $(z+1)^{n(n+1)}q_n(1/(z+1))$ have positive integer coefficients. Furthermore, for the three-color model, we find some results on the number of states with a given number of faces of each color, and we compute strict bounds for the possible number of faces of each color.
