Abstract

Consider the classical XY model in a weak random external field pointing along the Y axis with strength ϵ\epsilon. We prove that the model defined on Z3\Z^3 with nearest neighbor coupling exhibits residual magnetic order in the horizontal direction for arbitrarily weak random field strengths and, depending on field strength, sufficiently low temperature.
