Surface transitions of the semi-infinite Potts model II: the low bulk temperature regime

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-24 v1

Abstract

We consider the semi-infinite (q)-state Potts model. We prove, for large (q), the existence of a first order surface phase transition between the ordered phase and the the so-called "new low temperature phase" predicted in \cite{Li}, in which the bulk is ordered whereas the surface is disordered.
