In the uncoupled limit, there\r\nare two phases: one where the one-body correlation functions are algebraically decaying and the other with\r\nexponential decay. When the linear coupling is turned on, a third BKT-paired phase emerges, in which one-body correlations are exponentially decaying, while two-body correlation functions exhibit power-law\r\ndecay. We perform numerical simulations in the paradigmatic case of two coupled XY models at finite\r\ntemperature, finding evidences that for any finite value of the interlayer coupling, the BKT-paired phase is\r\npresent. We provide a picture of the phase diagram using a renormalization group approach.","lang":"eng"}],"date_published":"2019-09-06T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1079-7114"],"issn":["0031-9007"]},"external_id":{"isi":["000483587200004"],"arxiv":["1907.06253"]},"publication":"Physical Review Letters","_id":"6940","article_type":"original","status":"public","volume":123,"isi":1,"day":"06","scopus_import":"1","type":"journal_article"}
