Abstract
The Hamiltonian of a 1D quantum chain corresponding to Belavin's z n × z n symmetric model is derived. This Hamiltonian is a multicomponent generalisation of the XYZ model with n 2 coupling constants in general. In the limit tau to i infinity it reduces to the generalised XXZ model with (n-1) n-fold-degenerate coupling constants and n non-degenerate ones. The Hamiltonian is Hermitian only for n=2 or for n > 2 with a crossing parameter w restricted to integers. There exists a domain of parameters in which the Boltzmann weights are positive but the corresponding Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian. The relations of the Hamiltonian to other models are discussed.
