The Many Faces of the Chiral Potts Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The chiral Potts model is a generalization of the N -state Potts model allowing for handedness of the pair interactions. While known under several other names, it has received much interest in the past two decades. It may have appeared first in a short paper by Wu and Wang in the context of duality transformations. However, active studies of chiral Potts models did not start until a few years after that, when Östlund and Huse introduced the more special chiral clock model as a model for commensurate–incommensurate phase transitions. Much has been published since and in this talk we can only highlight some of the developments and discuss a few of those related to the integrable manifold in more detail.

Three-state chiral Potts models on the triangular lattice: a Monte Carlo study
The q-state chiral Potts model can describe systems that exhibit rich phase diagrams (see, for instance, ref. [l]) and interesting physical properties like commensurate-incommensurate transitions [2]. The chiral Potts model has been extensively studied in the last few years from the point of view of exactly solvable models. Au-Yang et al. discovered integrable cases for the q-state chiral Potts...
متن کاملFinite-size Transfer Matrix of Chiral Potts Model with Alternating Rapidities
We establish the Bethe equation of the τ -model in the N -state chiral Potts model (including the degenerate selfdual cases) with alternating vertical rapidities. The eigenvalues of a finite-size transfer matrix of the chiral Potts model are computed by use of functional relations. The significance of the ”alternating superintegrable” case of the chiral Potts model is discussed, and the degener...
متن کاملTernary Phase Diagram Modeling of Chiral Medetomidine Salts Using NRTL-SAC Model
Experimental determination of solubility and ternary phase diagram of chiral compound are of tedious and time consuming tasks, and in many cases, there is not enough experimental data for different enantiomeric compositions to access the experimental ternary phase diagram. Using thermodynamic models with predictive capability, having less dependency on experimental data, affords a great advanta...
متن کاملDuality and Symmetry in Chiral Potts Model
We discover a Ising-type duality in the general N -state chiral Potts model, which is the Kramers-Wannier duality of planar Ising model when N = 2. This duality relates the spectrum and eigenvectors of one chiral Potts model at a low temperature (of small k) to those of another chiral Potts model at a high temperature (of k). The τ -model and chiral Potts model on the dual lattice are establish...

We demonstrate that the τ (j)-matrices in the superintegrable chiral Potts model possess the Onsager algebra symmetry for their degenerate eigenvalues. The Fabricius-McCoy comparison of functional relations of eight-vertex model for roots of unity and superintegrable chiral Potts model has been carefully analyzed by identifying equivalent terms in the corresponding equations , by which we extra...
