摘要
We discuss the nature and sequence of phase transitions in two-dimensional systems with continuous degeneracy, in which other factors must be taken into account in addition to the interaction of point-like topological excitations, namely, the existence of an additional discrete degeneracy (which leads to the possibility of domain wall formation), the removal of accidental degeneracy by fluctuations, the formation of solitons, Formally, we discuss various modifications of the two-dimensional XY model, while physical objects that can be described by such models are various arrays of superconducting junctions and noncollinear planar antiferromagnets.
