Interaction-round-a-face models with fixed boundary conditions: The ABF fusion hierarchy

We use boundary weights and reflection equations to obtain families of commuting double-row transfer matrices for interaction-round-a-face models with fixed boundary conditions. In particular, we consider the fusion hierarchy of the Andrews-Baxter-Forrester (ABF) models, for which we obtain diagonal, elliptic solutions to the reflection equations, and find that the double-row transfer matrices satisfy functional equations with the same form as in the case of periodic boundary conditions
