Fractional calculus helps 1D model mimic correlations seen in 2D phase transitions
Phase transitions are strongly constrained by spatial dimension. In conventional one-dimensional systems with short-range interactions, thermal fluctuations generally prevent continuous degrees of freedom from maintaining order over long distances.
