Abstract:
In the present paper the enumeration of a certain class of directed lattice paths is based on the analysis of dynamical correlation functions of the exactly solvable $XX0$ model. This model is the zero anisotropy limit of one of the basic models of the theory of integrable systems, the $XXZ$ Heisenberg magnet. We demonstrate that the considered correlation functions under different boundary conditions are the exponential generating functions of the different types of paths, Dyck and Motzkin in particular.
Key words and phrases:$XX0$ Heisenberg chain, correlation functions, directed lattice paths, generating functions.
