ID: opposite-axis-quadratic-anisotropy-of-a-vector-order-parameter

For and , minimizing a uniform field gives zero magnetization when . For only component 1 orders, with ; for only component 2 orders, with . Both transition lines are continuous. The positive- disordered wedge separates the two easy-axis phases.
