Abstract

The spin-spin correlation function of the 2D XY model decays as a power law at all temperatures below the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition point with a temperature dependent exponent η=η(T/J)\eta=\eta(T/J) (JJ is the ferromagnetic coupling strength). It is known from computer experiments that in the 2D XY model with site or bond dilution this exponent depends on concentration pp of removed sites/bonds as well. Knowing the slope η/p\partial\eta/\partial p at point p=0p=0, one can predict the value of the exponent for small dilution concentrations: η(p)η(0)+p(η/p)p=0\eta(p)\simeq\eta(0)+p(\partial\eta/\partial p)|_{p=0}. As it is shown in this paper, the spin-wave Hamiltonian allows to obtain exact results for this slope: (η/p)p=0=T/(2J)+O((T/J)2)(\partial\eta/\partial p)|_{p=0} = T/(2J) + O((T/J)^2) and T/(πJ)+O((T/J)2)T/(\pi J) + O((T/J)^2) for site and for bond dilution, respectively.
