Abstract
Two recently studied experimental systems are shown to constitute realizations of two-dimensional anisotropic -vector models. Along with a renormalization-group treatment of a general Hamiltonian encompassing these models, we discuss new kinds of multicritical points, nonuniversal critical behavior, and experiments for further study of these systems.
