Izergin-Korepin analysis on the wavefunctions of the \(U_q(\mathrm{sl}_2)\) six-vertex model with reflecting end (Q784848)

Summary: We extend the recently developed Izergin-Korepin analysis on the wavefunctions of the \(U_q(\mathrm{sl}_2)\) six-vertex model to the reflecting boundary conditions. Based on the Izergin-Korepin analysis, we determine the exact forms of the symmetric functions which represent the wave functions and its dual. Comparison of the symmetric functions with the coordinate Bethe ansatz wave functions for the open XXZ chain (see [\textit{R. Frassek}, J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 50, No. 26, Article ID 265202, 19 p. (2017; Zbl 1368.82004)]) by \textit{F. Alcaraz} et al. [``Surface exponents of the quantum XXZ, Ashkin-Teller and Potts models'', J. Phys. A, Math. Theor. 20, No. 18, 6397--6409 (1987)] is also made. As an application, we derive algebraic identities for the symmetric functions by combining the results with the determinant formula of the domain wall boundary partition function of the six-vertex model with reflecting end.
