On different approaches to IRF lattice models. Part II

Abstract

Abstract This paper represents a continuation of our previous work, where the Boltzmann weights (BWs) for several Interaction-Round-the Face (IRF) lattice models were computed using their relation to rational conformal field theories. Here, we focus on deriving solutions for the Boltzmann weights of the Interaction-Round the Face lattice model, specifically, the unrestricted face model, based on the su 3 k $$ \mathfrak{su}{(3)}_k $$ affine Lie algebra. The admissibility conditions are defined by the adjoint representation. We find the BWs by determining the quantum R matrix of the U q sl 3 $$ {U}_q\left(\mathfrak{sl}(3)\right) $$ quantum algebra in the adjoint representation and then applying the so-called Vertex-IRF correspondence. The Vertex-IRF correspondence defines the BWs of IRF models in terms of R matrix elements.
