Roots of Unity: Representations of Quantum Groups

Representations of Quantum Groups U_q (g_n), g_n any semi simple Lie algebra of rank n, are constructed from arbitrary representations of rank n-1 quantum groups for q a root of unity. Representations which have the maximal dimension and number of free parameters for irreducible representations arise as special cases.Comment: 23 page

On τ(2)\tau^{(2)}-model in Chiral Potts Model and Cyclic Representation of Quantum Group Uq(sl2)U_q(sl_2)

We identify the precise relationship between the five-parameter $\tau^{(2)}$-family in the $N$-state chiral Potts model and XXZ chains with $U_q (sl_2)$-cyclic representation. By studying the Yang-Baxter relation of the six-vertex model, we discover an one-parameter family of $L$-operators in terms of the quantum group $U_q (sl_2)$. When $N$ is odd, the $N$-state $\tau^{(2)}$-model can be regarded as the XXZ chain of $U_{\sf q} (sl_2)$ cyclic representations with ${\sf q}^N=1$. The symmetry algebra of the $\tau^{(2)}$-model is described by the quantum affine algebra $U_{\sf q} (\hat{sl}_2)$ via the canonical representation. In general for an arbitrary $N$, we show that the XXZ chain with a $U_q (sl_2)$-cyclic representation for $q^{2N}=1$ is equivalent to two copies of the same $N$-state $\tau^{(2)}$-model.Comment: Latex 11 pages; Typos corrected, Minor changes for clearer presentation, References added and updated-Journal versio

Duality and Symmetry in Chiral Potts Model

We discover an Ising-type duality in the general $N$-state chiral Potts model, which is the Kramers-Wannier duality of planar Ising model when N=2. This duality relates the spectrum and eigenvectors of one chiral Potts model at a low temperature (of small $k'$) to those of another chiral Potts model at a high temperature (of $k'^{-1}$). The $\tau^{(2)}$-model and chiral Potts model on the dual lattice are established alongside the dual chiral Potts models. With the aid of this duality relation, we exact a precise relationship between the Onsager-algebra symmetry of a homogeneous superintegrable chiral Potts model and the $sl_2$-loop-algebra symmetry of its associated spin-$\frac{N-1}{2}$ XXZ chain through the identification of their eigenstates.Comment: Latex 34 pages, 2 figures; Typos and misprints in Journal version are corrected with minor changes in expression of some formula
