Well below the Kosterlitz--Thouless--Berezinskii transition temperature, both approaches consistently indicate that the energy current autocorrelation displays a long--time tail decaying as t^{-1}. This yields a thermal conductivity coefficient which diverges logarithmically with the lattice size. Conversely, conductivity is found to be finite in the high--temperature disordered phase. Simulations close to the transition temperature are insted limited by slow convergence that is presumably due to the slow kinetics of vortex pairs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-11T10:37:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "simulation study", "energy transport", "hamiltonian xy-model", "energy current autocorrelation displays", "planar rotator model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
