Critical exponents and unusual properties of the broken phase in the 3d-RP(2) antiferromagnetic model

Abstract

We present the results of a Monte Carlo simulation of the antiferromagnetic RP^2 model in three dimensions. With finite-size scaling techniques we accurately measure the critical exponents and compare them with those of O(N) models. We are able to parameterize the corrections-to-scaling. The symmetry properties of the broken phase are also studied.
