Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transitions with long-range couplings

Abstract

The Berezinskii-Kostelitz-Thouless (BKT) transition is the paradigmatic example of a topological phase transition without symmetry-breaking, where a quasi-ordered phase, characterized by a power law scaling of the correlation functions at low temperature, is disrupted by the proliferation of topological excitations above the critical temperature $T_{\mathrm{BKT}}$. In this letter, we consider the effect of long-range decaying couplings $\sim r^{-2-\sigma }$ on this phenomenon. After pointing out the relevance of this non trivial problem, we discuss the phase diagram, which is far richer than the corresponding short-range one. It features -- for $7/4<\sigma <2$ -- a quasi ordered phase in a finite temperature range $T_c<T<T_{\mathrm{BKT}}$, which occurs between a symmetry broken phase for $T<T_c$ and a disordered phase for $T>T_{\mathrm{BKT}}$. The transition temperature $T_c$ displays unique universal features quite different from those of the traditional, short-range XY model. Given the universal nature of our findings, they may be observed in current experimental realizations in $2D$ atomic, molecular and optical quantum systems.
