摘要
The specific-heat exponent-alpha for the d-dimensional ferroelectric five-vertex model is shown to be exactly (3 - d)/2 for d less-than-or-equal-to 3 by using a path integral approach developed for flux lattice melting in high-T(c) superconductors. The length scale exponents are nu-parallel-to = 1 in one direction and nu-perpendicular-to = 1/2 in the remaining (d - 1) directions. The upper critical dimension is 3 but quenched randomness lowers it to 1.5.
