Exact solution of the Seven-Vertex Model on a dynamical lattice

Mateus da Silva Junca, Ivan Kostov, Andre Alves Lima

We give the complete solution of the one-parameter deformation of the six-vertex model on dynamical lattice introduced in [1] and dubbed gravitational seven-vertex model. The stati…

A Matrix Model for Higher-Genus Fuss--Catalan Numbers

Anatol Kirillov, Ivan Kostov

The genus-g Fuss--Catalan (FC) number counts the number of ways to obtain a genus-g surface by identifying the edges of a pn-gon via p-valent hyperedges. For p=2 these are the genu…

Light-cone limits of large rectangular fishnets

Ivan Kostov

Basso-Dixon integrals evaluate rectangular fishnets -- Feynman graphs with massless scalar propagators which form a rectangular grid -- which arise in certain one-trace…

Two-dimensional massive integrable models on a torus

Ivan Kostov

The finite-volume thermodynamics of a massive integrable QFT is described in terms of a grand canonical ensemble of loops immersed in a torus and interacting through scattering fac…

Octagon with finite bridge: free fermions and determinant identities

Ivan Kostov, Valentina B. Petkova

We continue the study of the octagon form factor which helps to evaluate a class of four-point correlation functions in SYM theory. The octagon is characterised, be…

Effective Quantum Field Theory for the Thermodynamical Bethe Ansatz

Ivan Kostov

We construct an effective Quantum Field Theory for the wrapping effects in 1+1 dimensional models of factorised scattering. The recently developed graph-theoretical approach to TBA…
