New universality class in three dimensions? The antiferromagnetic RP^(2) model

We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the RP^(2) model in three dimensions with negative coupling. We observe a second order phase transition between the disordered phase and an antiferromagnetic, unfrustrated, ordered one. We measure, with a finite size scaling analysis, the thermal...

Sumario:We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the RP^(2) model in three dimensions with negative coupling. We observe a second order phase transition between the disordered phase and an antiferromagnetic, unfrustrated, ordered one. We measure, with a finite size scaling analysis, the thermal exponent, obtaining v = 0.784(g). We have found two magnetic-type relevant operators whose related YJ exponents are 0.038( 2) and 1.338( 8) respectively.
