Abstract
Given a family of monodromy matrices {T_u; u=0,1,...,K-1} corresponding to integrable anisotropic vertex models of A_{(n_u)-1}-type, we build up a related mixed vertex model by means of glueing the lattices on which they are defined, in such a way that integrability property is preserved. Algebraically, the glueing process is implemented through one dimensional representations of rectangular matrix algebras A(R_p,R_q), namely, the `glueing matrices' zeta_u. Here R_n indicates the Yang-Baxter operator associated to the standard Hopf algebra deformation of the simple Lie algebra A_{n-1}. We show there exists a pseudovacuum subspace with respect to which algebraic Bethe ansatz can be applied. For each pseudovacuum vector we have a set of nested Bethe ansatz equations identical to the ones corresponding to an A_{m-1} quasi-periodic model, with m equal to the minimal range of involved glueing matrices.
