Low-Temperature Expansion for a First Order Surface Transition

2016-08-31 v1
Abstract
The question concerning the possibility of a first order surface transition in a semi--infinite Blume--Capel model is addressed by means of low temperature expansions. It is found that such a transition can exist, according to mean field and cluster variation approximations, and contrarily to renormalization group results.
