dc.descriptionWe study the dynamics of a classical, two-component plasma in two dimensions, in the vicinity of the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition where the system passes from a dielectric low-temperature phase (consisting of bound pairs) to a conducting phase. We use two ``complementary'' analytical approaches and compare to simulations. The conventional, ``intuitive'' approach is built on the KT picture of independently relaxing, bound pairs. A more formal approach, working with Mori projected dynamic correlation functions, avoids to assume the pair picture from the start. We discuss successes and failures of both approaches, and suggest a way to combine the advantages of both.
