Absence of Phase Transitions in a Class of Integer Spin Systems

We exhibit a class of integer spin systems whose free energy can be written in term of an absolutely convergent series at any temperature. This class includes spin systems on ℤ ^d interacting through infinite range pair potential polynomially decaying at large distances r at a rate 1/r ^d+ε with ε>0. It also contains the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model in the disordered phase at large values of the crystal field.
