Quantum Chains with GL_q(2) Symmetry

Usually quantum chains with quantum group symmetry are associated with representations of quantized universal algebras $U_q(g) $ . Here we propose a method for constructing quantum chains with $C_q(G)$ global symmetry , where $C_q(G)$ is the algebra of functions on the quantum group. In particular we will construct a quantum chain with $GL_q(2)$ symmetry which interpolates between two classical Ising chains.It is shown that the Hamiltonian of this chain satisfies in the generalised braid group algebra.
