Ga. Braga et al., UPPER-BOUNDS ON THE CRITICAL-TEMPERATURE FOR THE 2-DIMENSIONAL BLUME-EMERY-GRIFFITHS MODEL, Journal of statistical physics, 76(3-4), 1994, pp. 819-834
We obtain rigorous upper bounds for the critical temperature associate
d with second-order phase transitions of the two-dimensional spin-1 BE
G model for real values of K and D coupling constants and for J greate
r-than-or-equal-to 0. We use some correlation equalities and inequalit
ies to show the exponential decay of the two-point function characteri
zing the disordered phase.
