3 The odd eight - vertex model
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 staggered 8-vertex model. Using this equivalence we deduce the solution of the odd 8-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 the free-fermion model with pure 2-spin interactions.

The Q - operator and Functional Relations of the Eight - vertex Model at Root - of - unity η = 2 mK N for odd
Following Baxter's method of producing Q 72-operator, we construct the Q-operator of the root-of-unity eight-vertex model for the crossing parameter η = 2mK N with odd N where Q 72 does not exist. We use this new Q-operator to study the functional relations in the Fabricius-McCoy comparison between the root-of-unity eight-vertex model and the superintegrable N-state chiral Potts model. By the c...

متن کاملSkolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs
In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...
متن کاملNew Developments in the Eight Vertex Model II. Chains of odd length
We study the transfer matrix of the 8 vertex model with an odd number of lattice sites N. For systems at the root of unity points η = mK/L with m odd the transfer matrix is known to satisfy the famous “TQ” equation where Q(v) is a specifically known matrix. We demonstrate that the location of the zeroes of this Q(v) matrix is qualitatively different from the case of even N and in particular the...
متن کاملThe sl2 loop algebra symmetry of the twisted transfer matrix of the six vertex model at roots of unity
We discuss a family of operators which commute or anti-commute with the twisted transfer matrix of the six-vertex model at q being roots of unity: q = 1. The operators commute with the Hamiltonian of the XXZ spin chain under the twisted boundary conditions, and they are valid also for the inhomogeneous case. For the case of the anti-periodic boundary conditions, we show explicitly that the oper...
