The '''XY model''', also known as the ''O(2)'' model because of its symmetry group, is a Heisenberg ferromagnetic with an easy-plane anisotropy. The [[Hamiltonian]] is given by
 
:<math>H = -J{\sum}_{\langle i,j\rangle}\mathbf{S}_i \cdot \mathbf{S}_{j}</math>
 
in other words
 
:<math>H=-J{\sum}_{\langle i,j\rangle}\cos(\theta_i-\theta_j)</math>
 
where the sum runs over all pairs of nearest neighbour spins, <math>\mathbf{S}</math>, and where <math>J</math> is the coupling constant.
