Abstract
We introduce and study a class of partition functions of an elliptic free-fermionic face model. We study the partition functions with a triangular boundary using the off-diagonal K-matrix at the boundary (OS boundary), which was introduced by Kuperberg as a class of variants of the domain wall boundary partition functions. We find explicit forms of the partition functions with OS boundary using elliptic Pfaffians. We find two expressions based on two versions of Korepin’s method, and we obtain an identity between two elliptic Pfaffians as a corollary.

Appendix: An elementary proof of (4.35) for the case \(n=2\)
In this Appendix, we check (4.35) for the case \(n=2\) by elementary manipulations. In this case, one can see from the definition of Pfaffians (2.1) that proving (4.35) is equivalent to showing the following identity
Let us show this using the addition formula for theta functions (2.8) repeatedly. The difference between the left hand side and the right-hand side of (A.1) can be expressed as
Using the addition formula for theta functions (2.8) (and (2.7)), one finds
Using identities (A.3), (A.4) and (A.5), (A.2) reduces to
One can apply addition formula (2.8) again to get
and we find the right-hand side of (A.6) becomes zero. Hence (4.35) for the case \(n=2\) is proved.
