Abstract
The phenomenological method of analyzing phase transitions is based on the construction of a thermodynamic potential Φ which may be represented as a polynomial expansion
where P n ({η λ }) are homogeneous polynomials of degree n invariant under the initial-phase symmetry group G. The quantities η λ , which are OP’s, transform according to the group G IR D ν responsible for the symmetry change at the phase transition.
