Abstract
We investigate a class of eight-vertex models on a Kagomé lattice. With the help of auxiliary vertices, the Kagomé-lattice eight-vertex model (KEVM) is related to an inhomogeneous system which leads to a one-parameter family of commuting transfer matrices. Using an equation for commuting transfer matrices, we determine their eigenvalues. From calculated eigenvalues the correlation length of the KEVM is derived with its full anisotropy. There are two cases: In the first case the anisotropic correlation length (ACL) is the same as that of the triangular/honeycomb-lattice Ising model. By the use of an algebraic curve, it is shown that the Kagomé-lattice Ising model, the diced-lattice Ising model, and the hard-hexagon model also have (essentially) the same ACL as the KEVM. In the second case we find that the ACL displays 12fold rotational symmetry.
