Abstract

We study the three-dimensional Edwards-Anderson model with binary interactions by Monte Carlo simulations. Direct evidence of finite-size scaling is provided, and the universal finite-size scaling functions are determined. Monte Carlo data are extrapolated to infinite volume with an iterative procedure for correlation lengths up to ξ140. The infinite-volume data are consistent with a conventional power-law singularity at finite temperature Tc. Taking into account corrections to scaling, we find Tc=1.156±0.015, ν=1.8±0.2, and η=0.26±0.04. The data are also consistent with an exponential singularity at finite Tc, but not with an exponential singularity at zero temperature.
