Abstract
It is shown that an exactly solvable inhomogeneous eight-vertex SOS (8VSOS) model ( Z -invariant 8VSOS model) reproduces most of the konwn hierarchies of solvable IRF spin models. It is also shown that the Z -invariance gives a simple explanation for the coincidence found by Baxter and Andrews between the expressions of the local spin densities for the two different hierarchies of the IRF models, the Gordon-Generalization hierarchy and the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester hierarchy.
