Partition Functions, Intertwiners and the Coxeter Element
  The partition functions of Pasquier models on the cylinder, and the associated intertwiners, are considered. It is shown that earlier results due to Saleur and Bauer can be rephrased in a geometrical way, reminiscent of formulae found in certain purely elastic scattering theories. This establishes the positivity of these intertwiners in a general way and elucidates connections between these objects and the finite subgroups of SU(2). It also offers the hope that analogous geometrical structures might lie behind the so-far mysterious results found by Di Francesco and Zuber in their search for generalisations of these models.
