In this work, we consider the q-deformation of the Virasoro algebra [M. Chaichian and P. Presnajder, Phys. Lett. B 277, 109 (1992)] expressed in terms of free fermions, and we then realize this algebra, when the deformation parameter is a root of unity, on the lattice in a truncated form in terms of the Clifford algebra of Γ matrices. For this finite size truncation, the commutation relations of the Deformed algebra hold exactly albeit without central extension term. We then study the relations existing between this lattice truncation of the deformed Virasoro algebra at roots of unity and the tower of commuting Temperley-Lieb hamiltonians introduced in a previous work.

Assuming q-deformed commutation relations for the fermions, an extension of the standard Lipkin Hamiltonian is presented. The usual quasi-spin representation of the standard Lipkin model is also obtained in this q-deformed framework. A variationally obtained energy functional is used to analyse the phase transition associated with the spherical symmetry breaking. The only phase transitions in this q-deformed model are of second order. As an outcome of this analysis a critical parameter is obtained which is dependent on the deformation of the algebra and on the number of particles.
