摘要
We consider a classical Coulomb gas with a short distance cutoff in two dimensions; equivalently a Sine-Gordon field theory. For low temperature beta-1 and low activity z the gas is in a multipole phase, the Kosterlitz-Thouless phase. For beta > 8-pi and z sufficiently small we give a complete renormalization group analysis for this phase and show that the flow of the effective measures is toward a free field (infrared asymptotic freedom). This should lead to control over the long distance behavior of the theory.
