The Q-operator and Functional Relations of the Eight-vertex Model at Root-of-unity for odd N
Following Baxter's method of producing Q_{72}-operator, we construct the
Q-operator of the root-of-unity eight-vertex model for the crossing parameter
with odd where Q_{72} does not exist. We use this
new Q-operator to study the functional relations in the Fabricius-McCoy
comparison between the root-of-unity eight-vertex model and the superintegrable
N-state chiral Potts model. By the compatibility of the constructed Q-operator
with the structure of Baxter's eight-vertex (solid-on-solid) SOS model, we
verify the set of functional relations of the root-of-unity eight-vertex model
using the explicit form of the Q-operator and fusion weights of SOS model.Comment: Latex 28 page; Typos corrected, minor changes in presentation,

Temperature dependent spatial oscillations in the correlations of the XXZ spin chain
We study the correlation for the XXZ chain in the
massless attractive (ferromagnetic) region at positive temperatures by means of
a numerical study of the quantum transfer matrix. We find that there is a range
of temperature where the behavior of the correlation for large separations is
oscillatory with an incommensurate period which depends on temperature.Comment: 4 pages, REVTEX, 6 table
The TQ equation of the 8 vertex model for complex elliptic roots of unity
We extend our studies of the TQ equation introduced by Baxter in his 1972
solution of the 8 vertex model with parameter given by

We find that there are several different cases depending on the parity of

The Q-operator for Root-of-Unity Symmetry in Six Vertex Model
We construct the explicit -operator incorporated with the
-loop-algebra symmetry of the six-vertex model at roots of unity. The
functional relations involving the -operator, the six-vertex transfer matrix
and fusion matrices are derived from the Bethe equation, parallel to the
Onsager-algebra-symmetry discussion in the superintegrable -state chiral
Potts model. We show that the whole set of functional equations is valid for
the -operator. Direct calculations in certain cases are also given here for
clearer illustration about the nature of the -operator in the symmetry study
of root-of-unity six-vertex model from the functional-relation aspect.Comment: Latex 26 Pages; Typos and small errors corrected, Some explanations

An elliptic current operator for the 8 vertex model
We compute the operator which creates the missing degenerate states in the
algebraic Bethe ansatz of the 8 vertex model at roots of unity and relate it to
the concept of an elliptic current operator. We find that in sharp contrast
with the corresponding formalism in the six-vertex model at roots of unity the
current operator is not nilpotent with the consequence that in the construction
of degenerate eigenstates of the transfer matrix an arbitrary number of exact
strings can be added to the set of regular Bethe roots. Thus the original set
of free parameters {s,t} of an eigenvector of T is enlarged to become
{s,t,\lambda_{c,1}, ..., \lambda_{c,n}\} with arbitrary string centers
\lambda_{c,j} and arbitrary n.Comment: 16 pages, Latex typographic errors corrected, text added, reference

Injunction Against Prosecution of Divorce Actions in Other States
Aims: The formation scenario of extended counter-rotating stellar disks in galaxies is still debated. In this paper, we study the S0 galaxy IC 719 known to host two large-scale counter-rotating stellar disks in order to investigate their formation mechanism.
Methods: We exploit the large field of view and wavelength coverage of the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph to derive two-dimensional (2D) maps of the various properties of the counter-rotating stellar disks, such as age, metallicity, kinematics, spatial distribution, the kinematical and chemical properties of the ionized gas, and the dust map.
Results: Due to the large wavelength range, and in particular to the presence of the Calcium Triplet \u3bb\u3bb8498, 8542, 8662 \uc5 (CaT hereafter), the spectroscopic analysis allows us to separate the two stellar components in great detail. This permits precise measurement of both the velocity and velocity dispersion of the two components as well as their spatial distribution. We derived a 2D map of the age and metallicity of the two stellar components, as well as the star formation rate and gas-phase metallicity from the ionized gas emission maps.
Conclusions: The main stellar disk of the galaxy is kinematically hotter, older, thicker and with larger scale-length than the secondary disk. There is no doubt that the latter is strongly linked to the ionized gas component: they have the same kinematics and similar vertical and radial spatial distribution. This result is in favor of a gas accretion scenario over a binary merger scenario to explain the origin of counter-rotation in IC 719. One source of gas that may have contributed to the accretion process is the cloud that surrounds IC 719
Thermodynamical Properties of a Spin 1/2 Heisenberg Chain Coupled to Phonons
We performed a finite-temperature quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the
one-dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with nearest-neighbor interaction
coupled to Einstein phonons. Our method allows to treat easily up to 100
phonons per site and the results presented are practically free from truncation
errors. We studied in detail the magnetic susceptibility, the specific heat,
the phonon occupation, the dimerization, and the spin-correlation function for
various spin-phonon couplings and phonon frequencies. In particular we give
evidence for the transition from a gapless to a massive phase by studying the
finite-size behavior of the susceptibility. We also show that the dimerization
is proportional to for .Comment: 10 pages, 17 Postscript Figure
