Cecile and Shailesh Chandrasekharan Department of Physics, Box 90305, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708. (Dated: February 2, 2008) Motivated by a puzzle in the study of two dimensional lattice Quantum Electrodynamics with staggered fermions, we construct a two dimensional fermionic model with a global U(1) symmetry. Our model can be mapped into a model of closed packed dimers and plaquettes. Although the model has the same symmetries as the XY model, we show numerically that the model lacks the well known Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition. The model is always in the gapless phase showing the absence of a phase with vortex condensation. In other words the low energy physics is described by a non-compact U(1) field theory. We show that by introducing an even number of layers one can introduce vortex condensation within the model and thus also induce a KT transition. PACS numbers: I. MOTIVATION Two dimensional lattice Quantum Electrodynamics continues to be of interest today as a test bed for ideas and algorithms for lattice QCD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. In this work we focus on the formulation with staggered fermions, and refer to it as LQED2 [6]. In the continuum limit, the theory is expected to describe the two-flavor Schwinger model [7]. With massless fermions the two- flavor Schwinger model contains an SU(2)×SU(2) chiral symmetry. Away from the continuum limit, finite lattice spacing effects in LQED2 break the chiral symmetry to a U(1) subgroup. In the mean field approximation this symmetry is spontaneously broken. However, since in two dimensions strong infrared fluctuations forbid spon- taneous symmetry breaking, the mean field result is mod- ified [8, 9]: Instead the theory develops critical long range (gapless) correlations, which can be detected through the chiral condensate susceptibility χ = ∑ i ? ψi
