As there should be more higher-genus models to be discovered, this might be of interest. In the second part I shall discuss some quantum group aspects, especially issues of odd versus even $N$ related to the Serre relations conjecture in our quantum loop subalgebra paper of 5 years ago and how we can make good use of coproducts, also borrowing ideas of Drinfeld, Jimbo, Deguchi, Fabricius, McCoy and Nishino.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-26T23:10:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integrable chiral potts model", "odd-even problem", "early history", "quantum loop subalgebra paper", "quantum group aspects" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151108526P" } } }
