Abstract

The large distance behaviors of the random field and random anisotropy Heisenberg models are studied with the functional renormalization group in 4ϵ4-\epsilon dimensions. The random anisotropy model is found to have a phase with the infinite correlation radius at low temperatures and weak disorder. The correlation function of the magnetization obeys a power law <m(r1)m(r2)>r1r20.62ϵ<{\bf m}({\bf r}_1) {\bf m}({\bf r}_2)>\sim| {\bf r}_1-{\bf r}_2|^{-0.62\epsilon}. The magnetic susceptibility diverges at low fields as χH1+0.15ϵ\chi\sim H^{-1+0.15\epsilon}. In the random field model the correlation radius is found to be finite at the arbitrarily weak disorder.
