23. A renormalization-group approach could be formulated with a Landau-Ginzburg effective free energy as a function of the order-parameter field (Formula presented). The fact that in a particular ordered configuration, only one of the ordering wave vectors can be present, translates to a "cubic" anisotropy in order-parameter space favoring the three coordinate axes. This implies a first-order phase transition [see D. J. Wallace, J. Phys. C 6, 1390 (1973)].

35. This situation is similar to the problem of propagating order in, e.g., the three-state Potts antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice, where a single chain of bonds is insufficient to force the relationship between two clusters [see J. Adler, R. G. Palmer and H. Meyer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 58, 882 (1987).
36. and H. Fried and M. Schick, Phys. Rev. B 41, 4389 (1990)]. However, that problem is unfrustrated, in that the restriction of a pure system ground state to the sites of the diluted system is always one of the valid ground states; this is not true for a frustrated system such as the fcc antiferromagnet (compare Ref. 30) owing to its frustration and this complicates the propagation of order.

48. On the basis of simulations, it is argued by R. Kühn and A. Huber, Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2268 (1994) and by J.-K. Kim and A. Patrascioiu, ibid. 72, 2785 (1994), that the critical exponents of unfrustrated diluted Ising models show a nonuniversal dilution dependence.

50. Recently, N. Kawashima and A. P. Young [Phys. Rev. B 53, 484 (1996)] have found evidence for a finite transition temperature and ordering below (Formula presented) for the ±J Ising spin glass, indicating that the lower critical dimension is indeed below 3. Their critical exponents (ν=1.7±0.3 and η=-0.35±0.05), are slightly different from those found earlier (ν≈1.2 and η ≈-0.25). A comparison with the exponents of the present simulation suggests that the diluted fcc AFM and the Ising ±J spin glass do not lie in the same universality class.
