Abstract
It is shown that there is a correspondence between the supersymmetric sine-Gordon theory in the vicinity of and an anisotropic Ashkin-Teller model. Thus the latter model displays a line of first-order transition which turns into a line of continuous transition with varying critical exponents via a multicritical point of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type.
