Abstract

We investigate the short-time dynamic relaxation of the two-dimensional XY model in the high temperature phase. Starting from the ordered state, we measure the autocorrelation function and determine the autocorrelation time. It is shown that apart from a constant the equilibrium spatial correlation length can be calculated in this way.
