Bounded Littlewood identity related to alternating sign matrices
An identity that is reminiscent of the Littlewood identity plays a fundamental role in recent proofs of the facts that alternating sign triangles are equinumerous with totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions and that alternating sign trapezoids are equinumerous with holey cyclically symmetric lozenge tilings of a hexagon.We establish

Relaxation of the order-parameter statistics in the Ising quantum chain
We study the out-of-equilibrium probability distribution function of the local order parameter in the transverse field Ising quantum chain.Starting from a fully polarised state, the relaxation of the ferromagnetic order is Puzzle analysed: we obtain a full analytical description of the late-time stationary distribution by means of a remarkable rela
