For the square-lattice nearest-neighbor cosine XY model, proves critical axis correlations $C_{β_{c}} (r) \sim A r^{- 1/4} (lo g r)^{1/8}$ and the Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless essential singularity $β_{c} - β lo g ξ (β) \to B$ , with $A, B > 0$ after the free-box thermodynamic limit. For finite square-symmetric interactions containing nearest neighbors, discrete Gaussian heights converge to Gaussian fields throughout the rough phase, including its threshold, along geometric torus sizes. Critical center-magnetization and spin-field conclusions retain their stated height, renormalization, and field-input assumptions.

We prove the critical logarithmic correction for the nearest-neighbor cosine XY model on the square lattice. Let $C_{b_{c}} (r)$ be the two-point correlation at critical inverse temperature, obtained by taking the free-box thermodynamic limit while the two sites remain r lattice steps apart along a coordinate axis. Then $C_{b_{c}} (r) = B_{XY} r^{- 1/4} (lo g r)^{1/8} (1 + o (1)), B_{XY} \in (0, \infty),$ as $r \to \infty$ .
