37. The following assumptions are made: (i) Only nearest-neighbor AFM interactions. (ii) Isotropic elasticity, i.e., only two elastic constants are present.
38. This conclusion is valid if α>0, and at strong coupling. If α<0 Ising exponents are predicted.
39. This conclusion is valid if α>0. If α<0 Ising exponents are predicted.
