The $q$-state clock model with the cosine potential has a single phase transition for $q\leq4$ and two transitions for $q\geq5$. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulations that the helicity modulus for the five-state clock model ($q=5$) does…
Hwang in [Phys. Rev. E 80, 042103 (2009)] suggested that the two transitions of the six-state clock model on the square lattice are not of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. Here we show from simulations thatat the upper transition, the helicity…

The $q-$state clock model, sometimes called the discrete $XY$ model, is known to show a second-order (symmetry breaking) phase transition in two-dimension (2D) for $q\le 4$ ($q=2$ corresponds to the Ising model). On the other hand, the…
