Using the representation of the quantum group SL q(2) by the Weyl operators of the canonical commutation relations in quantum mechanics, we construct and solve a new vertex model on a square lattice. Random variables on horizontal bonds are Ising variables, and those on the vertical bonds take half positive integer values. The vertex is subjected to a generalized form of the so-called “ice rule,” its property is studied in detail and its free energy calculated with the method of quantum inverse scattering. Remarkably, in analogy with the usual six-vertex model, there exists a “free-fermion” limit with a novel rich operator structure. The existing algebraic structure suggests a possible connection with a lattice neutral plasma of charges, via the fermion-boson correspondence.

It is shown that the two-dimensional free fermion model is equivalent to a checkerboard Ising model, which is a special case of the general ‘ Z -invariant’ Ising model. Expressions are given for the partition function and local correlations in terms of those of the regular square lattice Ising model. Corresponding results are given for the self-dual Potts model, and the application of the methods to the three-dimensional Zamolodchikov model is discussed. The paper ends with a discussion of the critical and disorder surfaces of the checkerboard Potts model.
