Factorizing $F$-matrices and the XXZ spin-1/2 chain: A diagrammatic perspective

Using notation inherited from the six-vertex model, we construct diagrams that represent the action of the factorizing $F$-matrices associated to the finite length XXZ spin-1/2 chain. We prove that these $F$-matrices factorize the tensor $R^σ_{1... n}$ corresponding with elements of the permutation group. We consider in particular the diagram for the tensor $R^{σ_c}_{1... n}$, which cyclically permutes the spin chain. This leads us to a diagrammatic construction of the local spin operators $S_i^{\pm}$ and $S_i^{z}$ in terms of the monodromy matrix operators.
