Abstract

The argument of Landau and Lifshitz for the absence of long-range order in one-dimensional systems is used to show that order is absent if the interaction energy falls off faster than ${n}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$. When the interaction falls off as ${n}^{\ensuremath{-}2}$, the order cannot go continuously to zero.
