Communications in Mathematical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract:

We show the absence of continuous symmetry breaking in 2D lattice systems without any smoothness assumptions on the interaction. We treat certain cases of interactions with integrable singularities. We also present cases of singular interactions with continuous symmetry, when the symmetry is broken in the thermodynamic limit.
