A Bethe ansatz study of a self-dual ZN spin lattice model, originally proposed by V. A. Fateev and A. B. Zamolodchikov, is undertaken. The connection of this model to the Chiral Potts model is established. Transcendental equations connecting the zeros of Fateev–Zamolodchikov transfer matrix are derived. The free energies for the ferromagnetic and the anti-ferromagnetic ground states are found for both even and odd spins.

The eigenvalues of the Fateev-Zamolodchikov Z N invariant model transfer matrix are found for N odd. Their zeros in the complex plane of the rapidity variable are shown to satisfy a set of Bethe-ansatz type equations similar to those obtained for the integrable XXZ chains. The eigenvalue for a filled sea of (N-1)-strings gives the free energy found by the matrix inversion method.
