Abstract
The hard hexagon model in statistical mechanics is a special case of a solvable class of hard-square-type models, in which certain special diagonal interactions are added. The sublattice densities and order parameters of this class are obtained, and it is shown that many Rogers-Ramanujan-type identities naturally enter the working.
