Abstract
The critical behavior at phase transitions of two coupled, m-component systems with cubic anisotropy is studied by a simplified model in which the fluctuations are partially considered. The phase transition could be a new fluctuation-induced first order transition into the anisotropic phase, or a new second order phase transition. Unlike in uncoupled systems, the second order phase transition could be into either the anisotropic or isotropic phase. As expected, upon suppression of fluctuations, all results reduce to those of mean field theory.
