Abstract: (APS)
Using Monte Carlo techniques, we show that vortex strings are responsible for the phase transition in the three-dimensional planar model. The phase structure for a generalized planar model with vortex suppression is determined. This latter model has the unusual feature of long-range order in a ground state with finite, disordering entropy.- LATTICE FIELD THEORY: THREE-DIMENSIONAL
