New sum rule identities and duality relation for the Potts $n$-point correlation function

Abstract

It is shown that certain sum rule identities exist which relate correlation functions for $n$ Potts spins on the boundary of a planar lattice for $n\ge 4$. Explicit expressions of the identities are obtained for $n=4,5$. It is also shown that the identities provide the missing link needed for a complete determination of the duality relation for the $n$-point correlation function. The $n=4$ duality relation is obtained explicitly. More generally we deduce the number of correlation identities for any $n$ as well as an inversion relation and a conjecture on the general form of the duality relation.
