Abstract
An argument is given that a model field theory with an -component order parameter has a nonzero critical temperature for large in two dimensions. A simple dependence of the depression of the point below (bulk) on film thickness is found which correlates with properties of the heat capacity for multilayer He films on graphite observed by Bretz.
