    Full text link
    The conclusions of a recent paper by Olsson (Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 2758 (1995), cond-mat/9506082) about the fully frustrated XY model in two dimensions are questioned. In particular, the evidence presented for having two separate chiral and U(1) phase transitions are critically considered.Comment: One page one table, to Appear in Physical Review Letter

    Hyperbolic (1,2)-knots in S^3 with crosscap number two and tunnel number one

    Get PDF
    A knot in S^3 is said to have crosscap number two if it bounds a once-punctured Klein bottle but not a Moebius band. In this paper we give a method of constructing crosscap number two hyperbolic (1,2)-knots with tunnel number one which are neither 2-bridge nor (1,1)-knots. An explicit infinite family of such knots is discussed in detail.Comment: 31 pages, 11 figures. To appear in Topology and its Applications (2008
