Abstract

An integrable vertex model associated to the Lie superalgebra sl (2|1) is constructed for the description of the spin quantum Hall critical phase. The model involves R -matrix solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation with respect to both the vector representation of sl (2|1) and its dual and an inhomogenity in the spectral parameters. On the torus the model can be mapped onto a Chalker-Coddington-type network model.

Integrable models of coupled Heisenberg chains

Holger Frahm, Claus Rödenbeck

We show that the solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation invariant under the action of the Yangian Y ( sl 2 ) lead to inhomogeneous vertex models. Starting from a four-dimensional representation of Y ( sl 2 ), we obtain an integrable family of coupled Heisenberg spin-½ chains. Some thermodynamical properties of this model are studied by means of the algebraic Bethe ansatz.

Temperley–LiebK-matrices

A. Lima-Santos

This work concerns studies of boundary integrability of the vertex models from representations of the Temperley–Lieb algebra associated with the quantum group 𝒰 q [ X n ] for the affine Lie algebras X n = , , and . A systematic computation method is used to construct solutions of the boundary Yang–Baxter equations. We find a 2 n 2 + 1 free parameter solution for spin-( n − 1/2) and vertex models. It turns out that for spin- n , and vertex models, the solution has 2 n 2 + 2 n + 1 free parameters.

An integrable model for the integer quantum Hall transition I: The vertex model

R. M. Gade

In this study, an integrable vertex model based on the quantum affine superalgebra $U_q\bigl(\hat{gl}(2|2)\bigr)$ is constructed. The model is characterized by a particular assignment of spectral parameters and lowest as well as highest weight $U_q\bigl(gl(2|2) \bigr)$ modules to its lattice links. Solutions of the corresponding intertwining conditions yield the Boltzmann weights. The set of mutually commuting charges contains a quantity equivalent to the super spin chain Hamiltonian proposed for the description of the integer quantum Hall transition.

On the Yang–Baxter equation for the six-vertex model

Vladimir V. Mangazeev

In this paper we review the theory of the Yang–Baxter equation related to the 6-vertex model and its higher spin generalizations. We employ a 3D approach to the problem. Starting with the 3D R-matrix, we consider a two-layer projection of the corresponding 3D lattice model. As a result, we obtain a new expression for the higher spin R-matrix associated with the affine quantum algebra Uq(sl(2)ˆ). In the simplest case of the spin s=1/2 this R-matrix naturally reduces to the R-matrix of the 6-vertex model. Taking a special limit in our construction we also obtain new formulas for the Q-operators acting in the representation space of arbitrary (half-)integer spin. Remarkably, this construction can be naturally extended to any complex values of spin s. We also give all functional equations satisfied by the transfer-matrices and Q-operators.

Temperley-Lieb K-matrices

A. Lima-Santos

This work concerns to the studies of boundary integrability of the vertex models from representations of the Temperley-Lieb algebra associated with the quantum group ${\cal U}_{q}[X_{n}]$ for the affine Lie algebras $X_{n}$ = $A_{1}^{(1)}$, $B_{n}^{(1)}$, $C_{n}^{(1)}$ and $D_{n}^{(1)}$. A systematic computation method is used to constructed solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equations. We find a $2n^{2}+1$ free parameter solution for $A_{1}^{(1)} $ spin-$(n-1/2)$ and $ C_{n}^{(1)}$ vertex models. It turns that for $A_{1}^{(1)} $ spin-$n$, $ B_{n}^{(1)}$ and $D_{n}^{(1)}$ vertex models, the solution has $2n^{2}+2n+1$ free parameters.

The Yang-Baxter Equation for the Chiral Potts Model and Integrable Parafermions

Zhao Zhang

A new type of Yang-Baxter equation (YBE) for $R$-operators depending on three spectral parameters is constructed from the star-triangle relation for the chiral Potts model. As the $Z_N$ symmetric generalization to the Ising model, its Boltzmann weights are known to depend on two variables describing a curve with genus larger than one for $N>2$, except for the self-dual point corresponding to the Fateev-Zamolodchikov chain. Combined with the fact that quantum Hamiltonians of edge-type models such as the Ising model contain both nearest-neighbor interaction and onsite potential terms, this leads naturally to an additional spectral parameter in the associated $R$-operator. The construction extends the edge-vertex correspondence of solvable lattice models, and provides a bridge between the Bazhanov-Stroganov four-parameter $R$-matrix---realized as an intertwiner of cyclic representations of $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ at a root of unity---and Shastry's two-parameter $R$-operator obtained from the decorated YBE.
