The results rely on a conjecture on the form of the thermodynamic free energy of the U-turn Six Vertex model, which we check on numerous examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-06-03T19:38:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "vertex model", "arctic curves", "reflecting boundary", "suitable domain wall boundary conditions", "thermodynamic free energy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 71, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
