The Kosterlitz-Thouless transition describes a topological phase transition in two-dimensional systems
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 77/100
The retrieved literature consistently confirms that the Kosterlitz-Thouless (or Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless) transition describes a topological phase transition driven by the unbinding of vortex defects in two-dimensional systems.
