Abstract
We derive the melting and defect-unbinding lines in the pancake-vortex syst em of layered superconductors with zero Josephson coupling. A finite Joseph son coupling transforms the defect-unbinding into a topological decoupling transition. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
