Abstract
In this paper we solve the Blume-Capel model on a complete graph in the presence of random crystal field with a distribution, , using large deviation techniques. We find that the first order transition of the pure system is destroyed for for all values of the crystal field, . The system has a line of continuous transition for this range of from . For values of outside this interval, the phase diagram of the system is similar to the pure model, with a tricritical point separating the line of first order and continuous transitions. We find that in this regime, the order vanishes for large for (and for large for ) even at zero temperature.
