The O(2) model in Euclidean space-time is the zero-gauge-coupling limit of the compact scalar quantum electrodynamics. We obtain a dual representation of it called the charge representation. We study the quantum phase transition in the charge representation with a truncation to “spin,” where the quantum numbers have an absolute value less than or equal to. The charge representation preserves the gapless-to-gapped phase transition even for the smallest spin truncation. The phase transition foris an infinite-order Gaussian transition with the same critical exponentsandas the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition, while there are true BKT transitions for. The essential singularity in the correlation length foris different from that for. The exponential convergence of the phase-transition point is studied in both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations. We discuss the effects of replacing the truncatedoperators by the spin ladder operatorsin the Hamiltonian. The marginal operators vanish at the Gaussian transition point for, which allows us to extract theexponent with high accuracy.
