Abstract

A high-precision, multimethod Monte Carlo study of the static exponents of the O(3) classical Heisenberg ferromagnet yields an estimate for the critical temperature of Tc1.4427±0.0002 from which it is conjectured that Tc=1/ln(2). It is shown from finite-size scaling of the data that the specific heat is singular for this model, with α=0.0750±0.002, ν=0.642±0.002, β=0.328±0.001, and γ=1.270±0.001. This result is confirmed by comparing the universality scaling of the full order parameter curve for three possible values of ν.
