Abstract: We survey and enlarge the known mappings of the 16-vertex model, with emphasis on mappings between the even and odd 8-vertex subcases of the general model, also giving new mappings between these models, valid on finite toroidal lattices. In particular, we find new mappings between the models by using their algebraic invariants with respect to the $SL(2)imesSL(2)$ symmetry of the 16-vertex model; we also find a larger set of weak-graph transformations. We show many examples of models with negative weights which map to models with only positive weights. Using the algebraic invariant relations of the even and odd 8-vertex models, we find the complete set of points in the complex field plane of the square lattice Ising model in a field which map to the even or odd 8-vertex models; these points also correspond to the set of free-fermionic points of the model. We do not find any new integrable points, but we find a new mapping between the odd 8-vertex model and the square lattice Ising model at magnetic field $$, valid on finite toroidal lattices. We also show directly through various examples that mappings via algebraic invariants do not fully exhaust the possible mappings a model may have with another model. We construct a new solution to the odd 8-vertex free-fermion model which is valid on the finite lattice, since the previous known solution resulted from a mapping valid only in the thermodynamic limit. Finally, we detail for the first time the phase transitions of the column staggered free-fermion 8-vertex model, and show that it can be mapped to the bi-partite staggered free-fermion model.
