Abstract: The two-dimensional ferromagnetic anisotropic Ashkin–Teller model is investigated through a real-space renormalization-group approach. The critical frontier, separating five distinct phases, recovers all the known exact results for the square lattice. The correlation length (νT) and crossover (φ) critical exponents are also calculated. With the only exception of the four-state Potts critical point, the entire phase diagram belongs to the Ising universality class.
