Abstract
Relations are exploited among Clebsch–Gordan (CG) and Racah coefficients in the algebra suq(2), known as a deformation of su(2). These are used to show that the Yang–Baxter (YB) relation for the IRF (interaction round a face) model results from one of the symmetry relations for the 9-j symbol specific to suq(2), and that in an asymptotic limit this YB relation becomes the YB relation for the two-dimensional vertex model. The Racah coefficient, which has a particularly simple dependence on q, is efficiently used such that an asymptotic limit of the Racah coefficient is the CG coefficient and another limit gives the factorized S matrix of the vertex model.
