New construction of solvable lattice models including an Ising model in a field

Abstract
In this Letter we report a new construction to obtain restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) models out of loop models. The method is a generalization of ideas developed by Owczarek and Baxter, and by Pasquier. In particular we consider a solvable O(n) model and point out that some of the RSOS models thus obtained admit an off-critical extension. Among these models we find a spin-1 Ising model, which is solvable not only at the critical point, but also in a fieldlike deviation away from it. We calculate the critical exponent δ=15 directly from the relation between the free energy and the field. This is the first determination of this exponent without the use of scaling relations.
