Tetrahedron Equation and Quantum R Matrices for Spin Representations of B^{(1)}_n, D^{(1)}_n and D^{(2)}_{n+1}

It is known that a solution of the tetrahedron equation generates infinitely many solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation via suitable reductions. In this paper this scheme is applied to an oscillator solution of the tetrahedron equation involving bosons and fermions by using special 3d boundary conditions. The resulting solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation are identified with the quantum R matrices for the spin representations of B^{(1)}_n, D^{(1)}_n and D^{(2)}_{n+1}.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figures, minor misprint correcte

Spectra in Conformal Field Theories from the Rogers Dilogarithm

We propose a system of functional relations having a universal form connected to the $U_q(X^{(1)}_r)$ Bethe ansatz equation. Based on the analysis of it, we conjecture a new sum formula for the Rogers dilogarithm function in terms of the scaling dimensions of the $X^{(1)}_r$ parafermion conformal field theory.Comment: 10 pages, MRR-009-92, SMS-042-9
