Abstract
We estimate, using a large-scale Monte Carlo simulation, the critical exponents of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a stacked triangular lattice. We obtain the following estimates: $γ/ν= 2.011 \pm .014 $, $ν= .585 \pm .009 $. These results contradict a perturbative $2+ε$ Renormalization Group calculation that points to Wilson-Fisher O(4) behaviour. While these results may be coherent with $4-ε$ results from Landau-Ginzburg analysis, they show the existence of an unexpectedly rich structure of the Renormalization Group flow as a function of the dimensionality and the number of components of the order parameter.
