Electric network and Hirota type 4-simplex maps
Abstract
Abstract Bazhanov-Stroganov (4-simplex) maps are set-theoretical solutions to the 4-simplex equation, namely the fourth member of the family of n-simplex equations, which are fundamental equations of mathematical physics. In this paper, we develop a method for constructing Bazhanov-Stroganov maps as extensions of tetrahedron maps which are set-theoretical solutions to the Zamolodchikov tetrahedron (3-simplex) equation. We employ this method to construct birarional Bazhanov-Stroganov maps which boil down to the famous electric network and Hirota tetrahedron maps at a certain limit.
