Six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions: Variable inhomogeneities

Abstract

We consider the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions. We choose the inhomogeneities as solutions of the Bethe Ansatz equations. These equations have many solutions, so we can consider a wide variety of inhomogeneities. For certain choices of the inhomogeneities we study arrow correlation functions on the horizontal line going through the centre. In particular, we obtain a multiple integral representation for the emptiness formation probability that generalizes the known formulae for XXZ antiferromagnets.
