ON RELATION BETWEEN SYMMETRIC VERTEX MODEL AND ISING MODEL ON THE SQUARE LATTICE
Ladislav Šamaj, M. Kolesík
Abstract
The symmetric version of the two-state vertex model on the square lattice is studied. It is shown that there exists a manifold in the vertex weights parameter space on which the model can be mapped onto the Ising model in a field. The choices of symmetric vertex weights for which the equivalence holds in the whole temperature range are briefly discussed.
