The ${\tau }_2$ model and parafermions

Abstract

Paul Fendley has recently found a "parafermionic" way to diagonalise a simple solvable hamiltonian associated with the chiral Potts model. Here we indicate how this method generalizes to the ${\tau }_2$ model with open boundaries and make some comments.
