Abstract

We obtain the transfer matrix functional relations for the chiral Potts model with skewed boundary conditions and find that they are the same as for periodic boundary conditions, but with modified selection rules. As a start toward calculating the interfacial tension in general, we here evaluate it in a low-temperature limit, performing a Bethe-ansatz-type calculation. Finally, we specialize the relations to the superintegrable case, verifying the ansatz proposed by Albertiniet al.
