One of the most exciting areas to study BKT transition is 2D or layered 2D (quasi-two-dimensional) supercon-ducting systems. We propose an explanation of the superconducting transitions discovered in the heavy fermion superlattices by Mizukami et al. We have also shown that magnetic fluctuations modify the conventional BKT discussion since they reduce the vortex core energy, and thus quantum criticality may strongly influence the phase diagram of the vortex system.
