Abstract

We study the higher spin analogs of the six-vertex model on the basis of its symmetry under the quantum affine algebra [Formula: see text]. Using the method developed recently for the XXZ spin chain, we formulate the space of states, transfer matrix, vacuum, creation/ annihilation operators of particles, and local operators, purely in the language of representation theory. We find that, regardless of the level of the representation involved, the particles have spin 1/2, and that the n-particle space has an RSOS type structure rather than a simple tensor product of the one-particle space. This agrees with the picture proposed earlier by Reshetikhin.

Q-operators in the six-vertex model

Vladimir V. Mangazeev

In this paper we continue the study of Q-operators in the six-vertex model and its higher spin generalizations. In [1] we derived a new expression for the higher spin R-matrix associated with the affine quantum algebra Uq(sl(2)ˆ). Taking a special limit in this R-matrix we obtained new formulas for the Q-operators acting in the tensor product of representation spaces with arbitrary complex spin. Here we use a different strategy and construct Q-operators as integral operators with factorized kernels based on the original Baxter's method used in the solution of the eight-vertex model. We compare this approach with the method developed in [1] and find the explicit connection between two constructions. We also discuss a reduction to the case of finite-dimensional representations with (half-)integer spins.

Commutation relations of vertex operators related with the spin representation of Uq(Dn

Yoshiyuki Koga

A new scheme to study the XXZ spin chain in massive regime is introduced by Davies et al in [1]. In this scheme, which is called symmetry approach, the space of states is identified with some Uq(A\_ ) -module. Under this identification, the XXZ Hamiltonian can be constructed on this module as an operator which commutes with the action of Uq(A '). Furthermore, the row transfer matrix and creation (annihilation) operators can be constructed by using vertex operators. In a similar way to [1], the higher spin chain [2] and the models related to the vector representation ofUq(A^) [3], Uq(B^ U q ( D ( n } ) [5] are studied. In this paper, we consider the model related with the spin representation of Uq(Dn ). In physics the model that we consider here is explained as follows. It is a one dimensional quantum spin chain model constructed from the spin representation of Uq(Dn )• The Hamiltonian acts on the space of the infinite tensor product

CORNER TRANSFER MATRICES AND QUANTUM AFFINE ALGEBRAS

OMAR FODA, TETSUJI MIWA

Let ℋ be the corner-transfer-matrix Hamiltonian for the six-vertex model in the anti-ferroelectric regime. It acts on the infinite tensor product W=V⊗V⊗V⊗⋯, where V is the 2-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum affine Lie algebra [Formula: see text]. We observe that ℋ is the derivation of [Formula: see text], and conjecture that the eigenvectors of ℋ form the level-1 vacuum representation of [Formula: see text]. We report on checks in support of our conjecture.

Corner transfer matrices and quantum affine algebras

Omar E. Foda, Tetsuji Miwa, The Netherl

Let H be the corner-transfer-matrix Hamiltonian for the six-vertex model in the antiferroelectric regime. It acts on the infinite tensor product W = V ⊗ V ⊗ V ⊗ · · ·, where V is the 2-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum affine Lie algebra Uq ̂sl(2). We observe that H is the derivation of Uq ̂sl(2) , and conjecture that the eigenvectors of H form the level-1 vacuum representation of Uq

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.
