Abstract

Various representations are derived for the emptiness formation probability (a nonlocal correlation function describing the probability of ferroelectric order) in the six-vertex model with domain wall boundary conditions in the case of weights satisfying the free-fermion condition. Starting from the known representation in terms of a multiple integral, the emptiness formation probability is expressed in terms of Hankel determinants and Fredholm ones. Nonlinear differential equations for this correlation function are also obtained. In particular, these equations include the equations for the tau-functions of Toda chains, both for finite and semi-infinite ones. Bibliography: 29 titles.
