Abstract

We studied the phase transition of the ±J\pm J Heisenberg model with and without a random anisotropy on four dimensional lattice L×L×L×(L+1)L\times L\times L\times (L+1) (L9)(L\leq 9). We showed that the Binder parameters g(L,T)g(L,T)'s for different sizes do not cross even when the anisotropy is present. On the contrary, when a strong anisotropy exists, g(L,T)g(L,T) exhibits a steep negative dip near the spin-glass phase transition temperature TSGT_{\rm SG} similarly to the pp-state infinite-range Potts glass model with p3p \geq 3, in which the one-step replica-symmetry-breaking (RSB) occurs. We speculated that a one-step RSB-like state occurs below TSGT_{\rm SG}, which breaks the usual crossing behavior of g(L,T)g(L,T).
