  • Ultimate goal for statistical-physical model:

compute

  • i. Study model for arbitrary finite size
  • ii. Take thermodynamic limit
  • Suprising fact: thermodynamics can be

sensitive to choice of boundary conditions!

  • Case study: solid-on-solid model

with domain walls and a reflecting end

  • Our goal: compute , for

Prior status: determinant formula

  • Results

ts

– Functional equation for the partition function – Solution, which is unique up to normalization,

gives new (multiple-integral) expression for

Solid-on-solid models

  • Growth of (bcc) crystals
  • Square 2d lattice with height variables at sites
  • Height difference between neighbours = 1
