Abstract
The author studies the mean-field theory of the three-state chiral Potts model with isotropic next-nearest-neighbour interactions. Numerical analysis of the mean-field equations shows evidence for an infinite cascade of phases arranged in a Devil's staircase. This result agrees with earlier predictions of the low-temperature expansion technique.
