This is done by using local deformations of the square lattice, that arise through the use of the star-triangle relation. Similar to Baxter's Z-invariance property, these local deformations leave the partition function invariant up to some simple factors coming from the star-triangle relation. The deformations used here extend the usual formulation of Z-invariance, by requiring the introduction of oriented rapidity lines which form directed closed paths in the rapidity graph of the model. The quasi-classical limit is also considered, in which case the deformations imply a classical Z-invariance property, as well as a related local closure relation, for the action functional of a system of classical discrete Laplace equations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-05-18T11:20:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "square lattice", "star-triangle relation", "baxters z-invariance property", "edge interaction models", "local deformations leave" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
