Quantum symmetries of face models and the double triangle algebra (Q2508679)

The author proves that the symmetry operators on the Hilbert space of states of the quantum version of trigonometric integrable two-dimensional statistical face models define a weak *-Hopf algebras isomorphic to the Ocneanu double triangle algebra [\textit{A. Ocneanu}, Paths on Coxeter diagrams: from Platonic solids and singularities to minimal models and subfactors, Rajarama Blat et al. (eds.), (Notes taken by S. Goto), Fields Institute Monographs, AMS,1999 (2000; Zbl 0952.46036)]. This is related to results about correspondence between rational conformal field theories of SU(2)-type and ADE graphs by \textit{J. B. Zuber} [CFT, ADE and all that, Contemp. Math. 294, 338--353 (2000)] and double triangle algebra associated to an ADE graph by the author of the paper under review and \textit{R. Coquereaux} [Adv. Theor. Math. Phys., 8, 189-216 (2004; Zbl 1082.81045]. The general context of investigations, motivations, fundamental results and conceptions are presented in papers by [\textit{J. S.
