For another route to the correct dimensionless combination, assume the “wave function” of an individual localized bosonic flux line decays like (Formula presented) The effect of a small external magnetic field can be gauged away to produce a wave function (Formula presented) which clearly can remain localized only if (Formula presented) See N.
