Heisenberg frustrated magnets: a nonperturbative approach

Statistical Mechanics 2009-10-31 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

Frustrated magnets are a notorious example where the usual perturbative methods are in conflict. Using a nonperturbative Wilson-like approach, we get a coherent picture of the physics of Heisenberg frustrated magnets everywhere between d=2d=2 and d=4d=4. We recover all known perturbative results in a single framework and find the transition to be weakly first order in d=3d=3. We compute effective exponents in good agreement with numerical and experimental data.
