In this paper we report analyses of high temperature series expansions for the spin [Formula: see text] XY model on the triangular and square lattices. Quantities for which series are analyzed include the fluctuation in the transverse magnetization, fourth order fluctuations in the same quantity, second and fourth moments of the transverse spin–spin correlations, specific heat, and entropy. The evidence favours a phase transition at a finite temperature with conventional power law critical singularities. Scaling seems to hold but hyperscaling seems to be violated. Estimates for critical exponents include γ = 2.50 ± 0.3. Δ = 2.38 ± 0.2, and ν = 143 ± 0.10. The specific heat exhibits no singular behaviour at Tc.
