Analytical results for the Coqblin-Schrieffer model with generalized magnetic fields

Using the approach alternative to the traditional Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz, we derive analytical expressions for the free energy of Coqblin-Schrieffer model with arbitrary magnetic and crystal fields. In Appendix we discuss two concrete examples including the field generated crossover from the SU(4) to the SU(2) symmetry in the SU(4)-symmetric model.Comment: 5 page

The exact equivalence of the one-flavour lattice Thirring model with Wilson fermions to a two-colour loop model

Within Euclidean lattice field theory an exact equivalence between the one-flavour 2D Thirring model with Wilson fermions and Wilson parameter $r = 1$ to a two-colour loop model on the square lattice is established. For non-interacting fermions this model reduces to an exactly solved loop model which is known to be a free fermion model. The two-colour loop model equivalent to the Thirring model can also be understood as a 4-state 49-vertex model.Comment: 29 pages LaTe

Spectral zeta functions of a 1D Schr\"odinger problem

We study the spectral zeta functions associated to the radial Schr\"odinger problem with potential V(x)=x^{2M}+alpha x^{M-1}+(lambda^2-1/4)/x^2. Using the quantum Wronskian equation, we provide results such as closed-form evaluations for some of the second zeta functions i.e. the sum over the inverse eigenvalues squared. Also we discuss how our results can be used to derive relationships and identities involving special functions, using a particular 5F_4 hypergeometric series as an example. Our work is then extended to a class of related PT-symmetric eigenvalue problems. Using the fused quantum Wronskian we give a simple method for calculating the related spectral zeta functions. This method has a number of applications including the use of the ODE/IM correspondence to compute the (vacuum) nonlocal integrals of motion G_n which appear in an associated integrable quantum field theory.Comment: 15 pages, version

New Q matrices and their functional equations for the eight vertex model at elliptic roots of unity

The Q matrix invented by Baxter in 1972 to solve the eight vertex model at roots of unity exists for all values of N, the number of sites in the chain, but only for a subset of roots of unity. We show in this paper that a new Q matrix, which has recently been introduced and is non zero only for N even, exists for all roots of unity. In addition we consider the relations between all of the known Q matrices of the eight vertex model and conjecture functional equations for them.Comment: 20 pages, 2 Postscript figure

A note on the generalised Lie algebra sl(2)q

In a recent paper, V. Dobrev and A. Sudbery classified the highest-weight and lowest-weight finite dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum Lie algebra sl(2)_q introduced by V. Lyubashenko and A. Sudbery. The aim of this note is to add to this classification all the finite dimensional irreducible representations which have no highest weight and/or no lowest weight, in the case when q is a root of unity. For this purpose, we give a description of the enlarged centre.Comment: Latex2e, 7 page

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 $\eta$ given by $2L\eta=2m_1K+im_2K'$ from $m_2=0$ to the more general case of complex $\eta.$ We find that there are several different cases depending on the parity of $m_1$ and $m_2$.Comment: 30 pages, LATE

Two-State Spectral-Free Solutions of Frenkel-Moore Simplex Equation

Whilst many solutions have been found for the Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation (QYBE), there are fewer known solutions available for its higher dimensional generalizations: Zamolodchikov's tetrahedron equation (ZTE) and Frenkel and Moore's simplex equation (FME). In this paper, we present families of solutions to FME which may help us to understand more about higher dimensional generalization of QYBE.Comment: LaTeX file.

Quantum geometry of 3-dimensional lattices

We study geometric consistency relations between angles on 3-dimensional (3D) circular quadrilateral lattices -- lattices whose faces are planar quadrilaterals inscribable into a circle. We show that these relations generate canonical transformations of a remarkable ``ultra-local'' Poisson bracket algebra defined on discrete 2D surfaces consisting of circular quadrilaterals. Quantization of this structure leads to new solutions of the tetrahedron equation (the 3D analog of the Yang-Baxter equation). These solutions generate an infinite number of non-trivial solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation and also define integrable 3D models of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. The latter can be thought of as describing quantum fluctuations of lattice geometry. The classical geometry of the 3D circular lattices arises as a stationary configuration giving the leading contribution to the partition function in the quasi-classical limit.Comment: 27 pages, 10 figures.

Yang-Baxter equation for the asymmetric eight-vertex model

In this note we study `a la Baxter [1] the possible integrable manifolds of the asymmetric eight-vertex model. As expected they occur when the Boltzmann weights are either symmetric or satisfy the free-fermion condition but our analysis clarify the reason both manifolds need to share a universal invariant. We also show that the free-fermion condition implies three distinct classes of integrable models.Comment: Latex, 12 pages, 1 figur
