Abstract

Finite-size scaling is applied to the Hamiltonian version of the asymmetric Z3-Potts model. Results for the phase boundary of the commensurate region and for the corresponding critical index ν are presented. It is argued that there is no Lifshitz point, the incommensurate phase extending down to small values of the asymmetry parameter.
