In this highly technical paper for experts only, the authors show the existence of a certain example of commensurate-incommensurate phase transition in a case previously studied by Sinai. The proof is nonconstructive and no explicit examples are given, nor is any information obtained on the nature (density, sparseness, etc.) of the set of such examples.
