Open publisher page 9 citations

Abstract

In this letter, studies of knotted vortex structures in superfluid helium are continued. A model of superfluid phase transition (λ-transition) is built in this framework. Similarities of this model to the two-dimensional Ising model are shown. Dependence of specific heat of superfluid helium on temperature near the λ point is explained.
