Various "vertex models" such as the 6-vertex model, 20-vertex model and many others have special choices of interactions for which the model is ``free-fermionic", that is, solvable by determinants. We’ll discuss a general set-up for such vertex models, and how to solve them.
This is the third of three Thurston Lectures by Richard Kenyon.
