Description

We improve the theoretical estimates of the critical exponents for the three-dimensional Heisenberg universality class. We find γ=1.3960(9), ν=0.7112(5), η=0.0375(5), α=-0.1336(15), β=0.3689(3), and δ=4.783(3). We consider an improved lattice φ4 Hamiltonian with suppressed leading scaling corrections. Our results are obtained by combining Monte Carlo simulations based on finite-size scaling methods and high-temperature expansions. The critical exponents are computed from high-temperature expansions specialized to the φ4 improved model. By the same technique we determine the coefficients of the small-magnetization expansion of the equation of state. This expansion is extended analytically by means of approximate parametric representations, obtaining the equation of state in the whole critical region. We also determine a number of universal amplitude ratios
