Abstract

Dislocation theory is used to define long range order for two dimensional solids. An ordered state exists at low temperatures, and the rigidity modulus is nonzero at the transition temperature. Similar arguments show that the superfluid density is nonzero at the transition temperature of a two dimensional superfluid.
