Existence of a tricritical point for the Blume–Capel model on ℤd

We prove the existence of a tricritical point for the Blume-Capel model on Z d for every d ≥ 2. The proof in d ≥ 3 relies on a novel combinatorial mapping to an Ising model on a larger graph, the techniques of Aizenman, Duminil-Copin, and Sidoravicious (Comm.Math.Phys, 2015), and the celebrated infrared bound.In d = 2, the proof relies on a quantitative analysis of crossing probabilities of the dilute random cluster representation of the Blume-Capel.In particular, we develop a quadrichotomy result in the spirit of Duminil-Copin and Tassion (Moscow Math.J., 2020), which allows us to obtain a fine picture of the phase diagram in d = 2, including asymptotic behaviour of correlations in all regions.Finally, we show that the techniques used to establish subcritical sharpness for the dilute random cluster model extend to any d ≥ 2.
