Discrete symmetry groups of vertex models in statistical mechanics

We analyze discrete symmetry groups of vertex models in lattice statistical mechanics represented as groups of birational transformations. They can be seen as generated by involutions corresponding respectively to two kinds of transformations onq×q matrices: the inversion of theq×q matrix and an (involutive) permutation of the entries of the matrix. We show that the analysis of the factorizations of the iterations of these transformations is a precious tool in the study of lattice models in statistical mechanics. This approach enables one to analyze two-dimensionalq ⁴-state vertex models as simply as three-dimensional vertex models, or higher-dimensional vertex models. Various examples of birational symmetries of vertex models are analyzed. A particular emphasis is devoted to a three-dimensional vertex model, the 64-state cubic vertex model, which exhibits a polynomial growth of the complexity of the calculations. A subcase of this general model is seen to yield integrable recursion relations. We also concentrate on a specific two-dimensional vertex model to see how the generic exponential growth of the calculations reduces to a polynomial growth when the model becomes Yang-Baxter integrable. It is also underlined that a polynomial growth of the complexity of these iterations can occur even for transformations yielding algebraic surfaces, or higher-dimensional algebraic varieties.     

Three-Dimensional Vertex Model Related BCC Model in Statistical Mechanics

In this paper, a three-dimensional vertex model is obtained. It is a duality of the three-dimensional integrable lattice model with N states proposed by Boos, Mangazeev, Sergeev and Stroganov. The Boltzmann weight of the model is dependent on four spin variables, which are the linear combinations of the spins on the corner sites of the cube, and obeys the modified vertex-type tetrahedron equation. This vertex model can be regarded as a deformation of the one related to the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model. The constrained conditions of the spectrums are discussed in detail and the symmetry properties of weight functions of the vertex model are presented.     

A first-order phase transition in a three-dimensional vertex model

For a specific three-dimensional vertex model, it is proven that it will show a first-order phase transition. The critical temperature is given in terms of the energy of some local vertex configurations. The approach used is similar to the Nagle approach. Some classes of compounds are considered which may be related to this model.     

The complete system of algebraic invariants for the sixteen-vertex model: I. Derivation via the three-dimensional orthogonal group

In a previous paper, the partition function of the 16-vertex model was shown to be invariant under a group of linear transformations in the space of the vertex weights. According to a theorem by Hilbert, every algebraic invariant such as the partition function for a finite lattice can be expressed algebraically in terms of a finite set of basic algebraic invariants, which are sums of products of the vertex weights. We construct this set by analysing the structural properties of the transformation group (the direct product of two three-dimensional orthogonal groups). The basic set is found to consist of 21 invariants, ranging from a linear invariant up to invariants of the ninth degree. In particular cases, notably the (general or the symmetric) eight-vertex model, the six-vertex model and the free-fermion model, several invariants vanish and a number of additional algebraic relations between the basic invariants are obtained.     

Three-dimensional vertex model in statistical mechanics from Baxter-Bazhanov model

We find that the Boltzmann weight of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model is dependent on four spin variables which are the linear combinations of the spins on the corner sites of the cube, and the Wu-Kadanoff-Wegner duality between the cube- and vertex-type tetrahedron equations is obtained explicitly for the Baxter-Bazhanov model. Then a three-dimensional vertex model is obtained by considering the symmetry property of the weight function, which corresponds to the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model. The vertex-type weight function is parametrized as the dihedral angles between the rapidity planes connected with the cube. We write down the symmetry relations of the weight functions under the actions of the symmetry groupG of the cube. The six angles with a constraint condition appearing in the tetrahedron equation can be regarded as the six spectra connected, with the six spaces in which the vertextype tetrahedron equation is defined.     

Observables in 3d spinfoam quantum gravity with fermions

We study expectation values of observables in three-dimensional spinfoam quantum gravity coupled to Dirac fermions. We revisit the model introduced by one of the authors and extend it to the case of massless fermionic fields. We introduce observables, analyse their symmetries and the corresponding proper gauge fixing. The Berezin integral over the fermionic fields is performed and the fermionic observables are expanded in open paths and closed loops associated to pure quantum gravity observables. We obtain the vertex amplitudes for gauge-invariant observables, while the expectation values of gauge-variant observables, such as the fermion propagator, are given by the evaluation of particular spin networks.     

Exact solution of the general non-intersecting string model

We present a thorough analysis of the non-intersecting string (NIS) model and its exact solution. This is an integrable q-states vertex model describing configurations of non-intersecting polygons on the lattice. The exact eigenvalues of the transfer matrix are found by the analytic Bethe ansatz. The Bethe ansatz equations thus found are shown to be equivalent to those for a mixed spin model involving both and infinite spin. This indicates that the NIS model provides a representation of the quantum group corresponding to spins and s = ∞. The partition function and the excitations in the thermodynamic limit are computed.     

Ground state properties of a spin-3/2 model on a decorated square lattice

We present the construction of an optimum ground state for a quantum spin-3/2 antiferromagnet. The spins reside on a decorated square lattice, in which the basis consists of a plaquette of four sites. By using the vertex state model approach we generate the ground state from the same vertices as those used for the corresponding ground state on the hexagonal lattice. The properties of these two ground states are very similar. Particularly there is also a parameter-controlled phase transition from a disordered to a Néel ordered phase. In the regime of this transition, ground state properties can be obtained from an integrable classical vertex model. Received 28 June 1999

Local Statistics of Realizable Vertex Models

We study planar “vertex” models, which are probability measures on edge subsets of a planar graph, satisfying certain constraints at each vertex, examples including the dimer model, and 1-2 model, which we will define. We express the local statistics of a large class of vertex models on a finite hexagonal lattice as a linear combination of the local statistics of dimers on the corresponding Fisher graph, with the help of a generalized holographic algorithm. Using an n × n torus to approximate the periodic infinite graph, we give an explicit integral formula for the free energy and local statistics for configurations of the vertex model on an infinite bi-periodic graph. As an example, we simulate the 1-2 model by the technique of Glauber dynamics.

An ?-Deformed Virasoro Algebra as Hidden Symmetry of the Restricted sine-Gordon Model

As the Yangian double with center, which is deformed from affine algebra by the additive loop parameter ?, we get the commutation relation and the bosonization of quantum ?-deformed Virasoro algebra. The corresponding Miura transformation, the associated screening operators and the BRST charge have been studied. Moreover, we also construct the bosonization for type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ intertwiner vertex operators. Finally, we show that the commutation relations of these vertex operators in the case of p^′ = γ, p = γ - 1 and ? = π actually give the exact scattering matrix of the restricted sine-Gordon model.     

Hierarchy of vertices in imperfect icosahedral quasicrystals

Imperfect icosahedral quasicrystals are assumed to grow obeying a local rule which imposes the twin orientation of like building blocks. The vertex configurations and their representations are briefly discussed. The vertices are classified by their abundances and energies determined according to a simple model taking account of nearest-neighbour interactions and calculating the corresponding overlap volumes in dual space.     

Symmetric vertex models on planar random graphs

We solve a 4-(bond)-vertex model on an ensemble of 3-regular (Φ³) planar random graphs, which has the effect of coupling the vertex model to 2D quantum gravity. The method of solution, by mapping onto an Ising model in field, is inspired by the solution by Wu et.al. of the regular lattice equivalent – a symmetric 8-vertex model on the honeycomb lattice, and also applies to higher valency bond vertex models on random graphs when the vertex weights depend only on bond numbers and not cyclic ordering (the so-called symmetric vertex models).The relations between the vertex weights and Ising model parameters in the 4-vertex model on Φ³ graphs turn out to be identical to those of the honeycomb lattice model, as is the form of the equation of the Ising critical locus for the vertex weights. A symmetry of the partition function under transformations of the vertex weights, which is fundamental to the solution in both cases, can be understood in the random graph case as a change of integration variable in the matrix integral used to define the model.Finally, we note that vertex models, such as that discussed in this paper, may have a role to play in the discretisation of Lorentzian metric quantum gravity in two dimensions.     

An explicit construction of the quantum group in chiral WZW-models

It is shown how a chiral Wess-Zumino-Witten theory with globally defined vertex operators and a one-to-one correspondence between fields and states can be constructed. The Hilbert space of this theory is the direct sum of tensor products of representations of the chiral algebra and finite dimensional internal parameter spaces. On this enlarged space there exists a natural action of Drinfeld's quasi-quantum groupA _{g, t} which commutes with the action of the chiral algebra and plays the rôle of an internal symmetry algebra. TheR matrix describes the braiding of the chiral vertex operators and the coassociator gives rise to a modification of the duality property.For genericq the quasi-quantum group is isomorphic to the coassociative quantum groupU _q (g) and thus the duality property of the chiral theory can be restored. This construction has to be modified for the physically relevant case of integer level. The quantum group has to be replaced by the corresponding truncated quasiquantum group, which is not coassociative because of the truncation. This exhibits the truncated quantum group as the internal symmetry algebra of the chiral WZW model, which therefore has only a modified duality property. The case ofg=su(2) is worked out in detail.     

Ground state phase diagram of a spin-2 antiferromagnet on the square lattice

We use the vertex state model approach to construct optimum ground states for a large class of quantum spin-2 antiferromagnets on the square lattice. Optimum ground states are exact ground states of the model which minimize all local interaction operators. The ground state contains two continuous parameters and exhibits a second order phase transition from a disordered phase with exponentially decaying correlation functions to a Néel ordered phase. The behaviour is very similar to that of the corresponding ground state of a quantum spin-3/2 model on the hexagonal lattice, which has been investigated in an earlier paper.

The diagonalisation of the Lund fragmentation model I

We will in this note show that it is possible to diagonalise the Lund fragmentation model. We show that the basic original result, the Lund area law, can be factorised into a product of transition operators, each describing the production of a single particle and the two adjacent break up points (vertex positions) of the string field. The transition operator has a discrete spectrum of (orthonormal) eigenfunctions, describing the vertex positions (which in a dual way correspond to the momentum transfers between the particles produced) and discrete eigenvalues, which only depend upon the particle produced. The eigenfunctions turn out to be the well-known two-dimensional harmonic oscillator functions and the eigenvalues are the analytic continuations of these functions to timelike values (corresponding to the particle mass). In this way all observables in the model can be expressed in terms of analytical formulas. In this note only the 1+1-dimensional version of the model is treated, but we end with remarks on the extensions to gluonic radiation, transverse momentum generation etc., to be performed in future papers.

Field-theoretical three-body relativistic equations for the multichannel πN↔γN↔ππN↔γπN reactions

A new kind of the relativistic three-body equations for the coupled πN and γN scattering reactions with the ππN and γπN three particle final states are suggested. These equations are derived in the framework of the standard field-theoretical S-matrix approach in the time-ordered three-dimensional form. Therefore, corresponding relativistic covariant equations are three-dimensional from the beginning and the considered formulation is free of the ambiguities which appear due to a three dimensional reduction of the four dimensional Bethe-Salpeter equations. The solutions of the considered equations satisfy the unitarity condition and they are exactly gauge invariant even after the truncation of the multiparticle (n>3) intermediate states. Moreover, the form of these three-body equations does not depend on the choice of the model Lagrangian and it is the same for the formulations with and without quark degrees of freedom. The effective potential of the suggested equations is defined by the vertex functions with two on-mass shell particles. It is emphasized that these INPUT vertex functions can be constructed from experimental data. Special attention is given to the construction of the intermediate on shell and off shell Δ resonance states. These intermediate Δ states are obtained after separation of the Δ resonance pole contributions in the intermediate πN Green function. The resulting amplitudes for the Δ⇔Nπ; Δ⇔Nγ; Δ^′⇔Δγ transition have the same structure as the vertex functions for transitions between the on-mass shell particle states with spin 1/2 and 3/2. Therefore it is possible to introduce the real value for the magnetic momenta for the Δ^′⇔Δγ transition amplitudes in the same way as it is done for the N^′⇔Nγ vertex function.     

The Odd Eight-Vertex Model

We consider a vertex model on the simple-quartic lattice defined by line graphs on the lattice for which there is always an odd number of lines incident at a vertex. This is the odd 8-vertex model which has eight possible vertex configurations. We establish that the odd 8-vertex model is equivalent to a staggered8-vertex model. Using this equivalence we deduce the solution of the odd8-vertex model when the weights satisfy a free-fermion condition. It is found that the free-fermion model exhibits no phase transitions in the regime of positive vertex weights. We also establish the complete equivalence of the free-fermion odd 8-vertex model with the free-fermion 8-vertex model solved by Fan and Wu. Our analysis leads to several Ising model representations of thefree-fermion model with pure 2-spin interactions.     

On peripheral pion-nucleon interactions at 7 GeV

It is shown by analyzing the ^–1-nucleon interactions at 7 GeV that it is possible to select events which could be described by the one-pion exchange model. Among the 169 stars with identified recoil proton which were examined, there are approximately 17 events corresponding to the scheme having a nucleon in the lower vertex only, while the maximum number of cases having a pion-nucleon system there is 84, For the second group the distribution of the mass of particles emitted in the lower vertex has its maximum in the region of the nucleon isobar mass (T=3/2). The distribution of mass of particles emitted in the upper vertex is not in contradiction with the production of and mesons. The values of the square of the transferred four-momentum are distributed predominantly in the region of small values in agreement with the Salzman model.The authors express their sincere thanks to E. Fenyves, K. Lanius and K. D. Tolstov for permission to use their experimental data and to J. Pernegr and V. imák for valuable discussions.
