Competing anisotropies and phase transitions in the $q$-state clock model with a $p$-fold crystalline field
Monte Carlo simulations show that weak p-fold crystalline fields suppress BKT phases in q-state clock models and induce long-range order, with outcomes depending on the specific q, p, and field sign.
