Abstract
The properties of phase transition and the lower-temperature phase of the plane rotator model are studied in the square lattice with Monte Carlo method. Physical results thus obtained for this model are quite similar to those of the two-dimensional quantum XY-model,1) that is, the susceptibility diverges and the specific heat does not diverge at the critical point. Furthermore the size-dependence of physical quantities and scaling relations among some temperature-dependent indices are also investigated.Keywords
