Abstract
A low energy action for double-layer quantum Hall systems at filling fractions (where is an odd integer) is introduced. Interlayer antiferromagnetic exchange induces a phase with canted spin order, as well as a spin-singlet phase. Universal properties of zero and finite temperature transitions are obtained. We compute the critical temperature at which the canted order vanishes in a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Implications for recent light scattering experiments at are noted.
