Abstract:
The partition functions of Pasquier models on the cylinder, and the associated intertwiners, are considered. It is shown that earlier results due to Saleur and Bauer can be rephrased in a geometrical way, reminiscent of formulae found in certain purely elastic scattering theories. This establishes the positivity of these intertwiners in a general way and elucidates connections between these objects and the finite subgroups of SU(2). It also offers the hope that analogous geometrical structures might lie behind the so-far mysterious results found by Di Francesco and Zuber in their search for generalisations of these models.
