The global phase diagram is calculated from the renormalization-group solution with the recently improved (spontaneous first-order detecting) Migdal-Kadanoff approximation or, equivalently, with hierarchical lattices with the inclusion of effective vacancies. Five different ordered phases are found: Conventionally ordered ferromagnetic, quadrupolar, antiferromagnetic phases and algebraically ordered antiferromagnetic, antiquadrupolar phases. These five different ordered phases and the disordered phase are mutually bounded by first-and second-order phase transitions, themselves delimited by multicritical points: Inverted bicritical, zero-temperature bicritical, tricritical, second-order bifurcation, and zero-temperature highly degenerate multicritical points. One rich phase diagram topology exhibits all of these phenomena.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2nd-Order Phase-TransitionsRenormalization-GroupHierarchical LatticesSpin Systems1st-Order2nd-Order Phase-TransitionsRenormalization-GroupHierarchical LatticesSpin Systems1st-OrderMerged Potts-clock model: Algebraic and conventional multistructured multicritical orderings in two and three dimensionsArticle2108WOS:00105311170000110.1103/PhysRevE.108.0241162-s2.0-85167997029Q1Q137723754
