On the duality relation for correlation functions of the Potts model

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

We prove a recent conjecture on the duality relation for correlation functions of the Potts model for boundary spins of a planar lattice. Specifically, we deduce the explicit expression for the duality of the n-site correlation functions, and establish sum rule identities in the form of the M\"obius inversion of a partially ordered set. The strategy of the proof is by first formulating the problem for the more general chiral Potts model. The extension of our consideration to the many-component Potts models is also given.
