Dynamical Yang-Baxter algebra and correlation functions of the integrable SOS model

A current challenge in the field of quantum integrable systems is the exact and explicit computation of correlation functions. In simple models such as the XXZ spin 1/2 Heisenberg chain, some significant results have been obtained during the last years. The developed methods essentially use the symmetries of the models in infinite volume (quantum affine algebra) or finite volume (Yang-Baxter algebra). The aim of this thesis is to generalize the scope of the latter approaches to the case where the underlying Yang-Baxter algebra is of dynamical type. This is typically the case of the statistical mechanics solid-on-solid (SOS) model which describes the interactions of a height parameter around faces of a bidimensional lattice, and whose statistical weights are given by an elliptic R-matrix which is solution of the dynamical Yang-Baxter equation.The study of correlation functions of the SOS model is discussed in the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz and the separation of variables. Representations in terms of determinants of usual functions are obtained by these two methods for the scalar products of states and for form factors of local operators in finite volume. The obtained formula in the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz are then used to represent the two-point function as multiple integrals, and also to compute various physical quantities at the thermodynamic limit, such as the spontaneous polarizations or the local height probabilities. The latter can be expressed in terms of multiple integrals of contour, which are really similar to the ones obtained in the XXZ model.
