Particles in RSOS paths
We introduce a new representation of the paths of the Forrester-Baxter RSOS
models which represents the states of the irreducible modules of the minimal
models M(p',p). This representation is obtained by transforming the RSOS paths,
for the cases p> 2p'-2, to new paths for which horizontal edges are allowed at
certain heights. These new paths are much simpler in that their weight is
nothing but the sum of the position of the peaks. This description paves the
way for the interpretation of the RSOS paths in terms of fermi-type charged
particles out of which the fermionic characters could be obtained
constructively. The derivation of the fermionic character for p'=2 and p=kp'+/-
1 is outlined. Finally, the particles of the RSOS paths are put in relation
with the kinks and the breathers of the restricted sine-Gordon model.Comment: 15 pages, few typos corrected, version publishe
Higher spin vertex models with domain wall boundary conditions
We derive determinant expressions for the partition functions of spin-k/2
vertex models on a finite square lattice with domain wall boundary conditions.Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures. Minor corrections. Version to appear in JSTA
New path description for the M(k+1,2k+3) models and the dual Z_k graded parafermions
We present a new path description for the states of the non-unitary
M(k+1,2k+3) models. This description differs from the one induced by the
Forrester-Baxter solution, in terms of configuration sums, of their
restricted-solid-on-solid model. The proposed path representation is actually
very similar to the one underlying the unitary minimal models M(k+1,k+2), with
an analogous Fermi-gas interpretation. This interpretation leads to fermionic
expressions for the finitized M(k+1,2k+3) characters, whose infinite-length
limit represent new fermionic characters for the irreducible modules. The
M(k+1,2k+3) models are also shown to be related to the Z_k graded parafermions
via a (q to 1/q) duality transformation.Comment: 43 pages (minor typo corrected and minor rewording in the
