Abstract: | The equivalent neighbour (EN) model of interacting continuous spherically symmetric spins with the length equal or smaller than unity is solved exactly for all values of the spin dimensionality, D. A surprising result is that only for D 628 the system undergoes phase transitions at temperatures lower than those of the EN model of interacting spins with the hypercubic symmetry. In the D → ∞ limit the equation of state in zero field is derived analytically and gives the Landau type behaviour in the whole range of temperatures. |
