Simon %J Physics %D 1995 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevB.51.15610 %X Using the well known boson mapping, we relate the transverse magnetic susceptibility of a system of flux vortices in 1+1 dimensions to an appropriately defined conductivity of a one-dimensional boson system. The tilt response for a system free of disorder is calculated directly, and it is found that a subtle order of limits is required to avoid deceptive results. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9501107v1
