 Tricritical three-phase line

For $V=r{m}^2/2+u{m}^4/4+v{m}^6/6-hm$ with $v>0$, the displayed line has three global minima, $m=0$ and $m=\pm \sqrt{-3u/(4v)}$. The factorization $V=(v/6)m^2(m^2+3u/(4v){)}^2$ proves their coexistence. Two nonzero-field tricritical wings and the zero-field ordered coexistence sheet meet along this line. Its order-parameter discontinuity tends to zero as it terminates at the tricritical point.
