Abstract

The absence of a characteristic length at the lambda temperature Tλ of liquid helium is used to determine the wave-number dependence of the phase fluctuations and the second-sound dispersion relation ω=ak32 where ω and k are the frequency and wave number and a0.1 cm32 sec1. Further predictions are |TTλ|13 singular temperature variation for second-sound damping (T<Tλ) and the thermal conductivity (T>Tλ).
