Abstract

The twisted XXZ chain alias the six-vertex model is investigated at roots of unity. It is shown that when the twist parameter is chosen to depend on the total spin an infinite-dimensional non-Abelian symmetry algebra can be explicitly constructed in all spin sectors. This symmetry algebra can be identified with the upper or lower Borel subalgebra of the sl2 loop algebra. The proof uses only the intertwining property of the six-vertex monodromy matrix and the familiar relations of the six-vertex Yang–Baxter algebra.
