Abstract
We carry out the first numerical simulations to directly confirm the existence of a kink-antikink unbinding transition, T_w, along Ising-like domain walls in the two dimensional fully frustrated XY model. We comment on the possible implications of kink-antikink unbinding for the bulk phase transitions of the model.

8 pages, 10 figures - expanded version of original submission as accepted by Phys. Rev. B. Some correction to the analysis lead to an increase in the value of the kink unbinding transition temperature
