THE MODIFIED TETRAHEDRON EQUATION AND ITS SOLUTIONS

G. VON GEHLEN, S. PAKULIAK, S. SERGEEV

Published May 1, 2004• 5 citations

Abstract

A large class of 3-dimensional integrable lattice spin models is constructed. The starting point is an invertible canonical mapping operator [Formula: see text] in the space of a triple Weyl algebra. [Formula: see text] is derived postulating a current branching principle together with a Baxter Z-invariance. The tetrahedron equation for [Formula: see text] follows without further calculation. If the Weyl parameter is taken to be a root of unity, [Formula: see text] decomposes into a matrix conjugation operator R1,2,3 and a c-number functional mapping [Formula: see text]. The operator R1,2,3 satisfies a modified tetrahedron equation (MTE) in which the "rapidities" are solutions of a classical integrable Hirota-type equations. R1,2,3 can be represented in terms of the Bazhanov-Baxter Fermat curve cyclic functions, or alternatively in terms of Gauss functions. The paper summarizes several recent publications on the subject.

MODIFIED TETRAHEDRON EQUATIONS AND RELATED 3D INTEGRABLE MODELS, I

Herman E. Boos, Vladimir V. Mangazeev, С. М. Сергеев

Using a modified version of the tetrahedron equations we construct a new family of N- state three-dimensional integrable models with commuting two-layer transfer matrices. We investigate a particular class of solutions to these equations and parametrize them in terms of elliptic functions. The corresponding models contain one free parameter, k—an elliptic modulus.

ELLIPTIC SOLUTION FOR MODIFIED TETRAHEDRON EQUATIONS

Vladimir V. Mangazeev, Yu. G. Stroganov

As is known, tetrahedron equations lead to the commuting family of transfer-matrices and provide the integrability of the corresponding three-dimensional lattice models. We present the modified version of these equations which give the commuting family of more complicated two-layer transfer-matrices. In the static limit we have succeeded in constructing the solution of these equations in terms of elliptic functions.

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.

Theta function parameterization and fusion for 3-D integrable Boltzmann weights

We report progress in constructing Boltzmann weights for integrable 3-dimensional lattice spin models. We show that a large class of vertex solutions to the modified tetrahedron equation can be conveniently parameterized in terms of N-th roots of theta-functions on the Jacobian of a compact algebraic curve. Fay’s identity guarantees the Fermat relations and the classical equations of motion for the parameters determining the Boltzmann weights. Our parameterization allows to write a simple formula for fused Boltzmann weights R which describe the partition function of an arbitrary open box and which also obey the modified tetrahedron equation. Imposing periodic boundary conditions we observe that the R satisfy the normal tetrahedron equation. The scheme described contains the Zamolodchikov-Baxter-Bazhanov model and the Chessboard model as special cases.

The Structure of the Bazhanov-Baxter Model and a New Solution of the Tetrahedron Equation

M. Horibe, Kazuyasu Shigemoto

We clarify the structure of the Bazhanov-Baxter model of the 3-dim N-state integrable model. There are two essential points, i) the cubic symmetries, and ii) the spherical trigonometry parametrization, to understand the structure of this model. We propose two approaches to find a candidate as a solution of the tetrahedron equation, and we find a new solution.
