Bethe Ansatz and Symmetry in Superintegrable Chiral Potts Model and   Root-of-unity Six-vertex Model
  We examine the Onsager algebra symmetry of $\tau^{(j)}$-matrices in the superintegrable chiral Potts model. The comparison of Onsager algebra symmetry of the chiral Potts model with the $sl_2$-loop algebra symmetry of six-vertex model at roots of unity is made from the aspect of functional relations using the $Q$-operator and fusion matrices. The discussion of Bethe ansatz for both models is conducted in a uniform manner through the evaluation parameters of their symmetry algebras.
