We consider the anisotropic $XY$ chain in a magnetic field with special boundary conditions described by a two-parameter Hamiltonian. It is shown that the exchange of the parameters corresponds to a similarity transformation, which reduces in a special limit to the Ising duality transformation.
We show in two simple examples that for one-dimensional quantum chains with quantum group symmetries, the correlation functions of local operators are, in general, infrared divergent. If one considers, however, correlation functions invariant under the quantum group, the divergences cancel out.
We show that the XY quantum chain in a magnetic field is invariant under a two parameter deformation of the $SU(1/1)$ superalgebra. One is led to an extension of the braid group and the Hecke algebras which reduce to the known ones when the two parameter coincide. The physical significance of the two parameters is discussed. When both are equal to one, one gets a Pokrovski-Talapov phase transition. We also show that the representation theory of the quantum superalgebras indicates how to take the appropriate thermodynamical limits.
