This is achieved through the identification of a simple and completely explicit solution of its Bethe equations. The corresponding eigenvector is computed by means of the algebraic Bethe ansatz, and both a simple component and its square norm are expressed in terms of the Izergin-Korepin determinant. In the homogeneous limit, the vector coincides with a supersymmetry singlet of the twisted spin-one XXZ chain. It is shown that in a natural polynomial normalisation scheme its square norm and the simple component coincide with generating functions for weighted enumeration of alternating sign matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-08-19T18:54:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "alternating sign matrices", "nineteen-vertex model", "natural polynomial normalisation scheme", "square norm", "diagonal twisted boundary conditions possesses" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1742-5468/2015/01/P01017", "journal": "Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment", "year": 2015, "month": "Jan", "volume": 2015, "number": 1, "pages": "01017" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015JSMTE..01..017H" } } }
