Abstract

The phase diagram of the mean-field Ising model in a random field obeying a symmetric three-peak distribution is determined. This distribution is relevant to diluted antiferromagnets in a uniform magnetic field. The phase diagram includes a fourth-order point, tricritical points, ordered critical points, critical end points, and a double critical end point. An ordered phase persists for arbitrarily large random fields at low temperatures.
