A rapidity-independent parameter in the star-triangle relation

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The normalization factor in the star-triangle relation can be evaluated in a simple form by taking determinants. If we combine this with the rotation symmetries, then we can show that a certain simple quantity II has to be independent of the rapidities. In this sense it is an invariant. We evaluate it for several particular models and find it is one for self-dual models, and is related to the modulus kk (or kk') for the Ising, Kashiwara-Miwa and chiral Potts models.
