In this talk, we give a brief overview of several aspects of the theory of the chiral Potts model, including higher-genus solutions of the star–triangle and tetrahedron equations, cyclic representations of affine quantum groups, basic hypergeometric functions at root of unity, and possible applications.

We have performed a Random Matrix Theory (RMT) analysis of the quantum four state chiral Potts chain for different sizes of the quantum chain up to eight sites, and for different unfolding methods. Our analysis shows that one generically has a Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble statistics for the unfolded spectrum instead of the GUE statistics one could expect. Furthermore a change from the generic GOE distribution to a Poisson distribution occurs when the hamiltonian becomes integrable. Therefore, the RMT analysis can be seen as a detector of "higher genus integrability".
