The phase behavior of liquids confined in a slit geometry does not reveal a crossover from a three- to a two-dimensional behavior as the gap size decreases. Indeed, the prototypical two-dimensional hexatic phase only occurs in liquids confined to a monolayer. Here, we demonstrate that the dimensionality crossover is apparent in the lateral size dependence of the relaxation dynamics of confined liquids, developing a Debye model for the density of vibrational states of confined systems and performing extensive numerical simulations. In confined systems, Mermin-Wagner fluctuations enhance the amplitude of vibrational motion - or the Debye-Waller factor - by a quantity scaling as the inverse gap width and proportional to the logarithm of the as...
