However, in contrast with the l D LRO, the 2D LRO is allowed even at finite temperatures where the 2D LRO may be replaced with a 3D order due to the order-by-disorder mechanism.

23. In the sliding phase of a 3D XY model [C. S. O'Hern, T. C. Lubensky, and J. Toner, Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2745 (1999)], only a 2D quasi-LRO is allowed at T > 0. Then, the scaling dimension of an interlayer coupling is not enough to establish a 3D LRO. The interlayer coupling modifies critical exponents as in our case. However, this 2D quasi-LRO is quite different from our 2D LRO.
24. In liquid crystals, the density of molecules has ID LRO in the smectic phase and 2D LRO in the discotic phase. It is disordered in the other remaining direction. Then, the Bragg plane and rod appears, respectively. [P. M. Chaikin and T. C. Lubensky, Principles of Condensed Matter Physics (Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, England, 1995)].
