13. For (Formula presented)≫:(Formula presented), the interactions between different vortex lines are independent of the core size (Formula presented). However, the self-interaction of a bending vortex line will depend on (Formula presented). This can lead to weak logarithmic dependencies on (Formula presented). See E. H. Brandt, J. Low Temp.

19. In 2D, such a floating lattice has been predicted theoretically by D. R. Nelson and B. I. Halperin, Phys. Rev. B 19, 2457 (1979), and observed in a simulation by M. Franz and S. Teitel, ibid. 51, 6551 (1995) and S. A. Hattel and J. M. Wheatley, ibid. 51, 11 951 (1995). In 3D, the long-range translational order present in a vortex lattice makes it questionable whether, in the presence of a periodic pinning potential, a true floating vortex line lattice phase can ever exist. Nevertheless, if the total pinning energy is small compared to T, a floating lattice may yet exist for 3D simulations of a finite-size system. We thank D. R. Nelson for pointing this out.
