Abstract
We investigate the melting transition of an ensemble of two-dimensional crystal defects in a recently developed local lattice model, which describes these defects via a duality transformation. We calculate the mean field approximation, the one-loop correction to it, and give the high temperature series up to β11 . The result is in excellent agreement with recent Monte Carlo simulationsKeywords
