Weak first-order phase transitions

Abstract

The general theorem concerning first-order phase transitions close to second-order transitions in elastically isotropic bodies enables one to solve not only classical but also quantum problems in statistical physics, when the Gaussian integrals cannot be calculated directly. The applications of this theorem are numerous and interesting: one can describe unusual ferromagnetic properties of metals, the peculiar elastic behaviour of quartz, the effects of elastic deformations and impurities on the nature of phase transitions in liquid crystals, the existence of magnetization and polarization induced by external fields and stabilized by the liquid-crystalline order.
