Chiral Potts Model: Its Beginning and Relation with Mathematics

Speaker: Perk, Helen

Abstract: The integrable chiral Potts model began as a special case of the 3-state chiral clock model and was found to be parametrized by a genus 10 curve. I shall talk about some further developments, especially in relation with mathematics, including its relation with quantum groups, loop algebra and basic hypergeometric series at roots of unity.
