Abstract:
We obtain rigorous upper bounds for the critical temperature associated with second-order phase transitions of the two-dimensional spin-1 BEG model for real values ofK andD coupling constants and forJ0. We use some correlation equalities and inequalities to show the exponential decay of the two-point function characterizing the disordered phase.
