Multicritical Points

Multicritical Points is a singular concept in the theory of phase transitions denoting a special point in the parameter space of a system where multiple distinct phases meet and at least two relevant parameters vanish simultaneously, leading to the convergence of multiple critical manifolds and the emergence of unconventional scaling behavior distinct from ordinary critical points.
