Comment on "Two Phase Transitions in the Fully frustrated XY Model"

Statistical Mechanics 2016-08-15 v1

Abstract

The conclusions of a recent paper by Olsson (Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 2758 (1995), cond-mat/9506082) about the fully frustrated XY model in two dimensions are questioned. In particular, the evidence presented for having two separate chiral and U(1) phase transitions are critically considered.
