Equivalence principle in statistical mechanics

Abstract: We introduce the notion of equivalence of models of statistical mechanics which is stronger than the “weak equivalence” widely discussed in the literature. We show that any “generalized interaction round-a-face” model is equivalent to a spin model and to a vertex model. It implies, in particular, that for any spin model there is an equivalent vertex model.
