Conserved charges in the chiral three-state Potts model

We consider the perturbations of the three-state Potts conformal field theory introduced by Cardy as a description of the chiral three-state Pods model. By generalizing Zamolodchikov's counting argument and by explicit calculation we find new inhomogeneous conserved currents for this theory. We conjecture the existence of an infinite set of conserved currents of this form and discuss their relevance to the description of the chiral Potts models.
