Résumé

We calculate explicitly the constant factor $C$ in the large $N$ asymptotics of the partition function $Z_{N}$ of the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions on the critical line between the disordered and ferroelectric phases. On the critical line the weights $a, b, c$ of the model are parameterized by a parameter $α > 1$ , as $a = \frac{α - 1}{2}$ , $b = \frac{α + 1}{2}$ , $c = 1$ . The asymptotics of $Z_{N}$ on the critical line was obtained earlier in the paper [8] of Bleher and Liechty: $Z_{N} = C F^{N^{2}} G^{\sqrt{N}} N^{1 / 4} (1 + O (N^{- 1 / 2}))$ , where $F$ and $G$ are given by explicit expressions, but the constant factor $C > 0$ was not known. To calculate the constant $C$ , we find, by using the Riemann–Hilbert approach, an asymptotic behavior of $Z_{N}$ in the double scaling limit, as $N$ and $α$ tend simultaneously to $\infty$ in such a way that $\frac{N}{α} \to t \geq 0$ . Then we apply the Toda equation for the tau-function to find a structural form for $C$ , as a function of $α$ , and we combine the structural form of $C$ and the double scaling asymptotic behavior of $Z_{N}$ to calculate $C$ .
