Long-wavelength fluctuations and anomalous dynamics in 2-dimensional liquids

In 2-dimensional systems at finite temperature, long-wavelength Mermin-Wagner fluctuations prevent the existence of translational long-range order. Their dynamical signature, which is the divergence of the vibrational amplitude with the system size, also affects disordered solids, and it washes out...
