A new eight vertex model and higher dimensional, multiparameter generalizations
B. Abdesselam, Amitabha Chakrabarti
We study statistical models, specifically transfer matrices corresponding to a multiparameter hierarchy of braid matrices of (2n)2×(2n)2 dimensions with 2n2 free parameters (n=1,2,3,…). The simplest, 4×4 case, is treated in detail. Powerful recursion relations are constructed by explicitly giving the dependence on the spectral parameter θ of the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix at each level of coproduct sequence. A brief study of higher dimensional cases (n⩾2) is presented, pointing out features of particular interest. Spin chain Hamiltonians are also briefly presented for the hierarchy. In a long final section, basic results are recapitulated with systematic analysis of their contents. Our eight vertex 4×4 case is compared to standard six vertex and eight vertex models.
