Abstract: A basis of N2 projectors, each an N2imesN2 matrix with constant elements, is implemented to construct a class of braid matrices hatR(heta), heta being the spectral parameter. Only odd values of N are considered here. Our ansatz for the projectors Palpha appearing in the spectral decomposition of hatR(heta) leads to exponentials exp(malphaheta) as the coefficient of Palpha. The sums and differences of such exponentials on the diagonal and the antidiagonal respectively provide the (2N2−1) nonzero elements of hatR(heta). One element at the center is normalized to unity. A class of supplementary constraints imposed by the braid equation leaves 1/2(N+3)(N−1) free parameters malpha. The diagonalizer of hatR(heta) is presented for all N. Transfer matrices t(heta) and L(heta) operators corresponding to our hatR(heta) are studied. Our diagonalizer signals specific combinations of the components of the operators that lead to a quadratic algebra of N2 constant NimesN matrices. The heta-dependence factors out for such combinations. hatR(heta) is developed in a power series in heta. The basic difference arising for even dimensions is made explicit. Some special features of our hatR(heta) are discussed in a concluding section.
