Some remarks on a generalization of the superintegrable chiral Potts model

Abstract

The spontaneous magnetization of a two-dimensional lattice model can be expressed in terms of the partition function of a system with fixed boundary spins and an extra weight dependent on the value of a particular central spin. For the superintegrable case of the chiral Potts model with cylindrical boundary conditions, W can be expressed in terms of reduced hamiltonians H and a central spin operator S. We conjectured in a previous paper that W can be written as a determinant, similar to that of the Ising model. Here we generalize this conjecture to any Hamiltonians that satisfy a more general Onsager algebra, and give a conjecture for the elements of S.
