Abstract: | In this paper we establish a remarkable connection between two seemingly unrelated topics in the area of solvable lattice models. The first is the Zamolodchikov model, which is the only nontrivial model on a three-dimen-sional lattice so far solved. The second is the chiral Potts model on the square lattice and its generalization associated with theU
q(sl(n)) algebra, which is of current interest due to its connections with high-genus algebraic curves and with representations of quantum groups at roots of unity. We show that this last sl(n)-generalized chiral Potts model can be interpreted as a model on a threedimensional simple cubic lattice consisting ofn square-lattice layers with anN- valued (N 2) spin at each site. Further, in theN=2 case this three-dimen-sional model reduces (after a modification of the boundary conditions) to the Zamolodchikov model we mentioned above. |
