Criticality versus q in the 2+1-dimensional clock model
Using Monte Carlo simulations we have studied the clock model in
two different representations, the phase-representation and the
loop/dumbbell-gas (LDG) representation. We find that for the critical
exponents and for the specific heat and the correlation length,
respectively, take on values corresponding to the case , where
model, i.e. in terms of critical properties
the limiting behaviour is reached already at .Comment: Minor corrections; journal ref adde
