In the whole stability range of temperatures, the equilibrium statistical mechanics of this fluid is exactly solvable via an equivalence with the integrable 2D sine-Gordon field theory. The exact solution includes the bulk thermodynamics, special cases of the surface thermodynamics, and the large-distance asymptotic behavior of the two-body correlation functions.Talk presented at the SCCS02 meeting in Santa Fe, to appear in J.Phys.
