Metastability of the two-dimentional Blume-Capel model with zero chemical potential and small magnetic field on a large torus
We consider the Blume-Capel model with zero chemical potential and small magnetic field in a two-dimensional torus whose length increaseswith the inverse of the temeprature. We prove the mestastable behavior and that starting from a configuration with only negative spins, the process visits the configuration with only 0-spins on its way to the ground state which is the configuration with all spins equal to +1.
