Abstract

We study the local state probabilities of the vertex models in the face formulation associated with the simple Lie algebras X n =A n, B n, C n, D n. The corner transfer matrix method expresses them in terms of one-dimensional configuration sums. We show that the latter are the string functions of X n (1) modules. We also present similar results for the restricted face models of types B n (1), C n (1), D n (1).
