Abstract: | It is shown that there exists a phase transition associated with a singularity of the free energy for a model such that for all temperatures the equilibrium state is unique and thus stable with respect to boundary perturbations. It is also shown on this model that there exist phase transitions without symmetry breakdown, which can be related to a phase transition with symmetry breakdown on an equivalent model. |
