Based on the symmetry properties and the ideal-state graph concept, we u show that the vector dual sine-Gordon model describes the long-distance properties for p ≥5; J we then compare its predictions with the previous argument. To provide the evidences, we 9 numerically analyze the eigenvalue structure of the transfer matrix for p = 6, and we check 1 the criticality with the central charge c = 2 of the intermediate phase and the quantization condition of the vector charges. ] h c KEYWORDS: triangular-lattice three-spin interaction model, effective field theory, e ideal-state graph, vector dual sine-Gordon model, two-dimensional melting m - t The XY model consisting of the inner products of two Here, note that these commuting operations satisfy some a p ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ t neighboring planar spins with the Zp symmetry-breaking relations, e.g
