Phase transition in the two-dimensional Coulomb gas, and the interfacial roughening transition
Abstract
The behavior of the interface in the three-dimensional (3-D) Ising and related lattice systems is modeled using a 2-D array of columns of varying heights. We show that the "roughening" transition (the transition from a localized to a delocalized interface) is directly related to the metal-insulator transition in a 2-D Coulomb gas. Implications of this relationship are discussed.

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.
