The one-point correlation function (`boundary polarization') is expressed via the partition function of the model on a sublattice. The partition function is represented in terms of standard objects in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. This representation is used to study the large N limit: the presence of the boundary affects the macroscopic quantities of the model even in this limit. The logarithmic terms obtained are compared with predictions from conformal field theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2002-01-21T18:09:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "six-vertex model", "boundary polarization", "partition function", "domain wall boundary conditions", "one-point correlation function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
