The exact solution is obtained for eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the transfer matrix of the two-dimentional vertex model with different numbers of states on the horizontal and vertical edges.
At present a more general exactly solved model of statistical mechanics is the eight-vertex Baxter model [1], including as special cases practically all models solved before (see ref. [21).l’his model is defined on a square lattice with periodic boundary conditions. There is a “spin” variable taking q discrete values on each edge. Each site of the lattice has a Boltzmann weight, depending on the values of the four spin variables arranged on the edges, surrounding the given site L,1~,where i, j (a, j3) are values of variables on the vertical (horizontal) edges. Calculation of the free energy of the system is reduced to diagonalization of the transfer matrix

Relations (2) are called the Yang—Baxter equations. They play a key role in the theory ofthe factorized S-matrix [3,4] and in the quantum method of the inverse problem [5]. The solution of eqs. (2) where q = 2 was obtained by Baxter [1] (see also ref. [6]). Generalisation of the case q > 2 were considered in refs. [7—11].It is supposed that spin variables on vertical and horizontal edges take the same number of values (q,, = In this paper we shall examine the generalisation of the Baxter model for the case q,~,* q~,concretely q~ 4, c’i~ = 3. We will consider that there are two spin variables left and right on the vertical edge and suppose, that number of left (right) spins directed up by transition from one row to another is conserved. The latter restriction is the necessary condition of application of Bethe ansatz. So each site, besides the basic state ~4, has three excited ones, ~t, t tt. If in a given row the numbers of these excitations are n1, n2, n3, then under transition from one line to another n1 + n~ and ~ 2 ÷n are conserved. It is noted that in models considered before with three types of excitations [7] it was supposed that all three numbers were conserved separately. More general matrices, satisfying the formulated requirements above have the following non-zero elements: ~,

Solution (8) under a = j3 = BID = A/c = 1 is graduated analogous of R-matrix of ref. [12]. This solution itself may serve for the construction of a commutating family of transfer matrices in graduated space. Under a = AD/BC = 1 for the foundation of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the transfer matrix we may use the quantum method of the inverse problem [5,7].

Eqs. (9) and (10) completely determine the thermodynamic properties of the system. Analogously, we may consider vertex models having 4 and 24-l states accordingly on the horizontal and vertical edges. Commutating transfer matrices contain as the first integrals the hamiltonians of quantum n sublattice systems. Consideration of this problem will be the subject of a forthcoming paper.
