Abstract: We consider the class of quantum spin chains with arbitrary $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$-invariant nearest neighbor interactions, sometimes called $extrm{SU}_q(2)$ for the quantum deformation of $extrmSU(2)$, for $q>0$. We derive sufficient conditions for the Hamiltonian to satisfy the property we call {em Ferromagnetic Ordering of Energy Levels}. This is the property that the ground state energy restricted to a fixed total spin subspace is a decreasing function of the total spin. Using the Perron-Frobenius theorem, we show sufficient conditions are positivity of all interactions in the dual canonical basis of Lusztig. We characterize the cone of positive interactions, showing that it is a simplicial cone consisting of all non-positive linear combinations of "cascade operators," a special new basis of $U_q(mathfrak{sl}_2)$ intertwiners we define. We also state applications to interacting particle processes.
