This analysis gives the correct exponent for the vortex-antivortex distribution function in the 2D case, where the equilibrium distribution of vortex-antivortex pairs in the presence of a driving current is given by (Formula presented) It is known that for the 2D case, (Formula presented) and thus (Formula presented) at the vortex-antivortex unbinding temperature, J.
