In the present paper we obtain the large $n$ asymptotics of $Z_n$ in the ferroelectric phase. We prove that for any $\\ep>0$, as $n\\to\\infty$, $Z_n=CG^nF^{n^2}[1+O(e^{-n^{1-\\ep}})]$, and we find the exact value of the constants $C,G$ and $F$. The proof is based on the large $n$ asymptotics for the underlying discrete orthogonal polynomials and on the Toda equation for the tau-function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-01-03T22:54:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B23" ], "keywords": [ "domain wall boundary conditions", "six-vertex model", "ferroelectric phase", "exact solution", "underlying discrete orthogonal polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0712.4091B" } } }
