Abstract
A general construction of ferromagnetic systems with many phase transitions is given. It is based on two new results: an extension of one of the GKS inequalities to not necessarily ferromagnetic interactions, and a uniqueness of the Gibbs state theorem for perturbations of some simple systemsat all temperatures.
