Abstract
The 2D Fully Frustrated XY(FFXY) class of models is shown to contain a new groundstate in addition to the checkerboard groundstate of the standard 2D XY model. The spin configuration of this additional groundstate is obtained and its connection to a broken Z2-symmetry explained. This means that the class of 2D FFXY models belongs within a U(1) ⊗ Z2 ⊗ Z2-symmetry phase-transition representation. The phase diagram is reviewed and the central charges of the four multicritical points described. The implications for the standard 2D FFXY-model are discussed and elucidated, in particular with respect to the long standing controversy concerning the phase transitions of the standard 2D FFXY-model.
