Abstract
The phase diagram of the uniaxial three-state chiral Potts or asymmetric clock model at low temperatures is calculated for dimensions d>2, using systematic series expansions carried to indefinitely high order. The model exhibits two arbitrarily long sequences of distinct commensurate phases with (mean) wavevectors q= pi /3a and q=2 pi j/3(2j+or-1)a for j=1,2,3,...,jmax with jmax approximately= square root 2 ln(1+ square root 2) exp(3J/2kBT) to infinity as T to 0.Keywords
