Abstract

The solution of the zero-field "eight-vertex" model is presented. This model includes the square lattice Ising, dimer, ice, $F$, and KDP models as special cases. It is found that in general the free energy has a branch-point singularity at a phase transition, with a continuously variable exponent.
