LEVEL 2 IRREDUCIBLE REPRESENTATIONS OF $U_q (\widehat{{\rm sl}}_2)$, VERTEX OPERATORS, AND THEIR CORRELATIONS
Makoto Idzumi
Abstract
Vertex operators associated with level 2 [Formula: see text] modules are explicitly constructed using bosons and fermions. An integral formula is derived for the trace of products of vertex operators. These results are applied to give n-point spin correlation functions of an integrable S = 1 quantum spin chain, extending an earlier work of Jimbo et al. for the case S = 1/2.
