چکیده

We consider integrable vertex models whose Boltzmann weights (Rmatrices) are trigonometric solutions to the graded Yang-Baxter equation. As is well known the latter can be generically constructed from quantum affine superalgebras Uq(ĝ). These algebras do not form a symmetry algebra of the model for generic values of the deformation parameter q when periodic boundary conditions are imposed. If q is evaluated at a root of unity we demonstrate that in certain commensurate sectors one can construct non-abelian subalgebras which are translation invariant and commute with the transfer matrix and therefore with all charges of the model. In the line of argument we introduce the restricted quantum superalgebra U res q (ĝ) and investigate its root of unity limit. We prove several new formulas involving supercommutators of arbitrary powers of the Chevalley-Serre generators and derive higher order quantum Serre relations as well as an analogue of Lustzig’s quantum Frobenius theorem for superalgebras.

Loop symmetry of integrable vertex models at roots of unity

It has been recently discovered in the context of the six vertex or XXZ model in the fundamental representation that new symmetries arise when the anisotropy parameter (q + q−1)/2 is evaluated at roots of unity qN = 1. These new symmetries have been linked to an U(A (1) 1 ) invariance of the transfer matrix and the corresponding spin-chain Hamiltonian. In this paper these results are generalize...

An Introduction to Yangian Symmetries

Quantum integrable models are characterized by the existence of commuting conserved charges which one is free to choose as Hamiltonians. They usually also possess extra symmetries which are at the origin of degeneracies in the spectrum. These symmetries are often not a group but a quantum group. The Yangians [1] are quantum group symmetries which (almost systematically) show up in integrable mo...

M ay 2 00 3 Center quantum group in roots of unity and the restriction of integrable models

We show the connection between the extended center of the quantum group in roots of unity and the restriction of the XXZ model. We also give explicit expressions for operators that respect the restriction and act on the state space of the restricted models.

Quantum Anti–de Sitter space and sphere at roots of unity

An algebra of functions on q–deformed Anti–de Sitter space AdSD q is defined which is covariant under Uq(so(2,D−1)), for q a root of unity. The star–structure is studied in detail. The scalar fields have an intrinsic high–energy cutoff, and arise most naturally as fields on orbifolds AdSD q × SD/Γ if D is odd, and AdSD q × S2D−1 χ /Γ if D is even. Here Γ is a finite abelian group, and Sχ is a c...

Fermionization and Hubbard Models

We introduce a transformation which allows the fermionization of operators of any onedimensional spin-chain. This fermionization procedure is independent of any eventual integrable structure and is compatible with it. We illustrate this method on various integrable and non-integrable chains, and deduce some general results. In particular, we fermionize XXC spin-chains and study their symmetries...
