Note that in this paper, a Kosterlitz-Thouless-like transition is considered in a 2D system with two types of pointlike topological defects. These authors find no evidence for a first order transition, unlike in our case of a 3D system with two types of proliferating vortex loops.

EULEEJ 0295-5075 10.1209/0295-5075/81/10008 81, 10008 (2008) This paper presents a phase-diagram of the same topology as that which we will obtain. Based on a low-order renormalization group analysis on a 2D system, the authors find evidence for a first order phase transition, when an intercomponent Josephson coupling is included in the model.
