Any planar set of intersecting straight lines forms a four-coordinated graph, or ‘lattice’, provided no three lines intersect at a point. For any such lattice an eight-vertex model can be constructed. Provided the interactions satisfy certain constraints (which are in general temperature-dependent), the model can be solved exactly in the thermodynamic limit, its local properties at a particular site being those of a related square lattice. A particular case is a solvable model on the Kagomé lattice. It is shown that this model includes as special cases many of the models in statistical mechanics that have been solved exactly, notably the square, triangular and honeycomb Ising models, and the square eight-vertex model. Some remarkable equivalences between correlations on different lattices are also established.

The mapping which produces a path between the p-state symmetric vertex model and the Ising model with spin [Formula: see text] on the honeycomb lattice is constructed. The mapping construction is based on a combination of decoration and gauge transformations. The formulation enables one to find the manifold in the vertex weights parameter space on which the mapping can be performed and to derive dual relations among the model parameters as well as the free energies of related symmetric vertex and Ising models. The extension of the mapping to arbitrary lattice coordination is outlined.
