We reconsider the Berezinski $$\overset{\lower0.5em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle\smile}$}}{l} $$ -Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition to an insulating state in Coulomb-dominated Josephson junction arrays. We show that the previously predicted picture of the Cooper-pair BKT transition atT=T2is valid only under the condition thatT2is considerably below the parity-effect temperatureT*≈0.1Δ, and that even in that case it is not a rigorous phase transition but only a crossover, whereas the real phase transition takes place atT1=T2/4. Our theory is in agreement with available experimental data on Coulomb-dominated Josephson arrays and also sheds some light on the origin of the unusual reentrant temperature dependence of the resistivity in an array with a nearly critical ratioEC/EJ.
