Abstract

Dislocation theory is used to define long range order for two dimensional solids. An ordered state exists at low temperatures, and the rigidity modulus is nonzero at the transition temperature. Similar arguments show that the superfluid density is nonzero at the transition temperature of a two dimensional superfluid.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
