Results are given for the ground state energy and excitation spectrum of a simple $N$-state $Z_N$ spin chain described by free parafermions. The model is non-Hermitian for $N \ge 3$ with a real ground state energy and a complex excitation…
The $Z_N$-invariant chiral Potts model is considered as a perturbation of a $Z_N$ conformal field theory. In the self-dual case the renormalization group equations become simple, and yield critical exponents and anisotropic scaling which…

The $q$-state Potts chain with ferromagnetic couplings, $J=1$, in the presence of a transverse field, $\Gamma$, has a quantum phase transition at $\Gamma/q=1$, which is continuous for $q \le 4$ and of first order for $q>4$. Here we…
