It is shown that the phase diagram of the two-dimensional generalized fully-frustrated XY model on a square lattice contains a crossing of the chirality transition and the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition, as well as a stable phase characterized by a finite helicity modulus $\Upsilon$ and an unbroken chirality symmetry. The crossing point itself is consistent with a critical point without any jump in $\Upsilon$, with the size ($L$) scaling $% \Upsilon\sim L^{-0.63}$ and the critical index…

Low-temperature properties of the XY spin model on a negatively curved surface implies that a constant ferromagnetic spin interaction on a regular lattice can exhibit glasslike behavior without possessing any disorder if the lattice is put on top of a positively curved space such as a hyperbolic surface.

The fully frustrated $XY$ model on a square lattice is studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations and the non-Ising exponents reported by others are explained as a failure of finite size scaling due to the screening length associated with the nearby Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.

Kink pairs unbinding on domain walls and the sequence of phase transitions in fully frustrated XY models.
The unbinding of kink pairs on domain walls in the fully frustrated XY model is shown to induce the vanishing of phase coupling across the walls, forcing the phase transition to take place at a lower temperature than the other phase transition, associated with proliferation of the Ising-type domain walls.

A new critical dynamics close to the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition for two-dimensional vortex fluctuations is determined from simulations of $\mathrm{XY}$-type models with time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau dynamics, translated into a prediction for the flux noise.
