Abstract
Ordering by thermal fluctuations is studied for the classicalXY antiferromagnet on a checkerboard lattice in zero and finite magnetic fields by means ofanalytical and Monte Carlo methods. The model exhibits a variety of novel brokensymmetries including states with nematic ordering in zero field and with triatic orderparameter at high fields.
