Two phase transitions in triplet Ising models

It is shown that the three-spin Ising model on a triangulated dice lattice is equivalent to an Ashkin-Teller model. It is concluded from the expected critical behaviour of the Ashkin-Teller model that the triplet model exhibits two phase transitions. Generalization of the consideration to other lattices and a suggestion on the possible order parameters associated with the transitions are given.
