The Partition Function of the Four-Vertex Model in a Special External Field

  • Published:
Journal of Mathematical Sciences Aims and scope Submit manuscript

The exactly solvable four-vertex model on a square grid with the fixed boundary conditions in a presence of a special external field is considered. Namely, we study a system in a linear field acting on the central column of the grid. The partition function of the model is calculated by the quantum inverse scattering method. The answer is written in determinantal form.
