Abstract
The superconducting correlation function of finite two-dimensional systems is calculated within the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau theory in the Gaussian approximation. A crossover is found from zero-dimensional behavior at low temperatures to two-dimensional behavior at higher temperatures. The relation between this approach and the Kosterlitz-Thouless theory is briefly discussed.
