Let ℋ be the corner-transfer-matrix Hamiltonian for the six-vertex model in the anti-ferroelectric regime. It acts on the infinite tensor product W=V⊗V⊗V⊗⋯, where V is the 2-dimensional irreducible representation of the quantum affine Lie algebra [Formula: see text]. We observe that ℋ is the derivation of [Formula: see text], and conjecture that the eigenvectors of ℋ form the level-1 vacuum representation of [Formula: see text]. We report on checks in support of our conjecture.

The scaling spectra of finite-size Ising model corner transfer matrices (CTMs) are studied at criticality, using the fermion algebra. The low-lying eigenvalues collapse like 1/ log N for large N as predicted by conformal invariance. The shift in the largest eigenvalue is evaluated analytically using a generalized Euler-Maclaurin summation formula giving πc/6 log N with central charge c=1/2. The spectrum generating functions, for both fixed and free boundary conditions, are expressed simply in terms of the c=1/2 Virasoro characters χ∆(q) with modular parameter q= exp (−π/ log N) and conformal dimensions ∆=0, 1/2, 1/16.
