Quasi-classical expansion of a hyperbolic solution to the star-star relation and multicomponent 5-point difference equations

Abstract: The quasi-classical expansion of a multicomponent spin solution of the star-star relation with hyperbolic Boltzmann weights is investigated. The equations obtained in a quasi-classical limit provide n-1-component extensions of certain scalar 5-point equations (corresponding to n=2) that were previously investigated by the author in the context of integrability and consistency of equations on face-centered cubics.
