Sum rule for the eight-vertex model on its combinatorial line

We investigate the conjectured ground state eigenvector of the 8-vertex model inhomogeneous transfer matrix on its combinatorial line, i.e., at $η=π/3$, where it acquires a particularly simple form. We compute the partition function of the model on an infinite cylinder with certain restrictions on the inhomogeneities, and taking the homogeneous limit, we obtain an expression for the squared norm of the ground state of the XYZ spin chain as a solution of a differential recurrence relation.
