Abstract
Simple analytic closed-expression scaling functions are reported for the la mbda transition of confined liquid He-4 in equilibrium. The results follow directly from the quantization of the fluctuation modes of the order parame ter and exhibit a smooth temperature dependence down to a shifted transitio n temperature.
