Abstract

Consider the classical XY model in a weak random external field pointing along the YY axis with strength ϵ\epsilon. We study the behavior of this model as the range of the interaction is varied. We prove that in any dimension d2d \geq 2 and for all ϵ\epsilon sufficiently small, there is a range L=L(ϵ)L=L(\epsilon) so that whenever the inverse temperature β\beta is larger than some β(ϵ)\beta(\epsilon), there is strong residual ordering along the XX direction.
