Moreover we prove that for $c\\in[\\sqrt{2+\\sqrt 2}, 2]$, the associated height function on $\\mathbb Z^2$ has unbounded variance. The proof relies on an extension of the Baxter-Kelland-Wu representation of the six-vertex model to multi-point correlation functions of the associated spin model. Other crucial ingredients are the uniqueness and percolation properties of the critical random cluster measure for $q\\in[1,4]$, and recent results relating the decay of correlations in the spin model with the delocalization of the height function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-11T08:31:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B20", "60K35" ], "keywords": [ "six-vertex model", "delocalization", "height function", "square lattice torus", "ergodic infinite-volume limit" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
