Abstract

We provide explicit formulae for highest-weight to highest-weight correlation functions of perfect vertex operators of Uq(sl(2)) in arbitrary integer level ℓ. They are given in terms of certain Macdonald polynomials. We apply this construction to the computation of the ground state of higher spin vertex models, spin chains (spin ℓ/2 XXZ) or loop models in the root of unity case q=-e-iπ/(ℓ+2). © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
