The known equivalence of the honeycomb eight-vertex model with an Ising model in a non-zero magnetic field is derived via a direct mapping. Compared with a previous derivation which uses the generalised weak-graph transformation, the new method is simpler and more direct, and can be extended to other considerations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
